Light Trails and the Ferris Wheel

I went into town today and after finding parking around Gilabbey Street I wandered around Grand Parade until the sun set and got a few photos of the ferris wheel there.

No stalls this year which is disappointing but with Covid19 on the rampage it’s understandable. Masks were seen inside and out among young and old.

There was a great festive mood in the city. Lots of families around, lots of music playing and people sitting outside shops and cafes drinking coffees, eating hot food and cold. I was amazed to see kids eat ice cream but it was a nice evening, not too cold in the city.

Light Trails in the Car Park

The lights of cars in the car park of Blackpool Shopping Centre blur into ghostly lines.

This photo is built from 4 separate images taken at the exact same spot, merged into one in Photoshop.

I thought I had posted a similar photo to this one but I cannot find it. It’s lost to the mists of time. Annoying..
