Day 527, North Pier


Looking straight back toward Blackpool from a temporary perch in the Irish Sea.

It is evident that the candy floss has started to take effect.

This is how HDR used to be achieved.

By faffing about with Curves in Photoshop.

Blackpool, home to the Golden Mile, Trams, a tower,* the Pleasure Beach, and quite a lot of homeless people.

The Wild Mouse, an elderly and completely wooden rollercoaster, features on the Pleasure Beach.

A bruising ride contained in a very small cubic area, it has many sudden and sharp turns.

The North Pier shares none of those qualities.

The pier for the use of the genteel and well heeled, the Wild Mouse for those that wish to be battered.

Battered.

Like the cod at Harry Ramsden's, just back on the mainland and to the right.**



* Towers are great.
** I'm not being paid for this.
