My ramblings, my photos, photography, image editing, etc.

More catch-up. This time from Blackpool

These photos are from an Ingress related trip to Blackpool that we called Tidal Wave. This was way back on 15th August 2015. The link is to a sitrep of the adventure.

I vaguely remember a “works” outing to Blackpool back in the days I worked at Renold Power Transmission in Bradford so this might be my second ever trip to Blackpool.

As usual you can click on the image to see it on flickr but this time I am going to put the text under the image. That is the more common place for it but seems slightly wrong when you are scrolling down. Let’s see how it goes.

I don’t know what these things are but they make a nice frame for the Big Wheel

and framing the tower

I could imagine the winds coming off the sea making those pipes play haunting music. Can anyone tell me what they actually are?

At right angles to the sea front are streets full of Bed & Breakfast places.

Stanley Park, Blackpool
This is Stanley Park, Blackpool where we met after turning a fair bit of Blackpool blue.

The tide has now gone out.

This is what the tower looked like when I was getting the car to drive back to Baildon with a couple of detours to drop people off.
