Sky Watch Friday: Blackpool (2)


Today's photograph is a contribution to Skywatch Friday.

It was taken from the South Promenade at Blackpool, near the Pleasure Beach a couple of minutes after the one on last week's post.

  9. That's a very striking picture! I've never been to Blackpool - my husband (who lived in Lytham St Anne's, just down the coast, for a while) says I haven't missed much!

  24. Wow. That's an amazing sky. Can't imagine how ominous that would look if I were in a boat watching that roll overhead.

  25. So many layers and contrasts in this picture. Very interesting shot and the pink of the top is so dainty compared to the black clouds rolling in.

  26. Blackpool's the place to go for winter storms. Big waves crash ashore. Quite often have to close promenade. Every winter someone gets swept away.
