Oh I do like to be beside the seaside.......

Blackpool at it's finest!!!
This photo is SOOC I didn't need to do anything to it....the light was brilliant yesterday afternoon with some proper sun!
You can see Blackpool Tower is under some construction work as usual.....they seem to be forever working on it these days.
North Pier in the distance, one of the three piers in Blackpool....badly damaged by the sea in the recent gales it will have to be refurbished.
If you look large you can see that odd square box which is gold in colour......you would never guess that it's the new wedding chapel...yuk!

Three good things:
1. Much better today thank!
2. I have made a start with the clothes sorting for my holiday.
3. Looking forward to an evening out tonight in Kendal at some friends house for a meal.

Thank you all very much for the faves & lovely comments on my Boo photo.....thrilled to get on PP again thanks to you!
Gorgeous light and sky. Many visits there as a child. New here and following, look forward to your photos Pat.

Great light and capture Pat.

great shot Pat, it was a lovely day yesterday (and Saturday!) I was at Clacton but my camera was at home! Hope you're doing OK. Things crazy busy with me at the minute...having to make some big grown up decisions and plans so a bit disjointed from photography!!

So many childhood memories in this shot:0)

@sparkle Hi Juliette....I know you are still around & guessed you would be busy.....sounds like changes might be afoot...hope it all sorts itself out ready for your triathlon season...you gotta do what you gotta do & I know you enjoy that. I am fine...off to NZ on the 12th so will have a break from 365 for a month. Look after yourself!

What fab colours - and such a fantastic sweep of sand - that's something you don't get on the south-east coast!
February 3rd, 2014  
Really lovely colors!
February 3rd, 2014  
Lovely composition, colours, pov, everything!
February 3rd, 2014  
Great shot and the see looks so calm. I really like the way the sunlight is lighting up the pier and seafront. Super composition.

@happypat sounds great Pat - you'll have a fab time, you must be getting excited! Mine's all work related, some mad stuff in play, but I've been invited to become a partner at work and it means big changes (like going self employed) and so i'm doing a lot of work to check out finances and implications on holidays / moving house etc etc. A lot to take on board...whilst all the time getting busier with working and being away! My body is still a bit wonky from Ecuador so taking training steady but need to be back at it within the next couple of weeks or so! Once I sort everything out I might need a bit of creative space so photography can be moved to the top of the pile!!

Great shot, almost looks like a summers day..
February 3rd, 2014  
This is super large. Yes I can see the gold box, stylish!! Just like a summers day, I fear more rain is on its way!!
February 3rd, 2014  
What a fabulous day for a photo! Just a tonic!

Beautiful composition and light.

This is such a beautiful look at Blackpool...and it looks like a splendid day! The blues of the sea and sky are so rich.
February 3rd, 2014  
Fabulous capture.
February 3rd, 2014  
Beautiful seaside shot. Love the blu of the sea and how it leads into the blue to the sky, so lovely. I wish I'd live closer to the sea
February 3rd, 2014  
Lovely blues here.
February 3rd, 2014  
Great shot

This is on the Trending Page so must be popular with our photographers on this site! I like the dark sea and the light on the sand - it looks golden! Nice to think you can drive to Kendal for just a meal!
February 3rd, 2014  
Brought back memories. We used to go to Blackpool regularly when we were kids. I particularly remember donkey rides, the pleasure beach and the competition in our car as to who could see the tower first on our drive to Blackpool.
February 3rd, 2014  
These are such wonderful colours
February 4th, 2014  
Lovely

Great shot
February 4th, 2014  
Great shot, Pat. Such wonderful lighting and love the sweep of the sea and reflections in the wet sand.
February 4th, 2014  
Well it wouldn't be Blackpool if the wedding chapel was tasteful! The town looks very fine in the sun (and from a distance?!)
February 4th, 2014  
Great Blackpool shot.
February 4th, 2014  
Such a peaceful scene for a busy place. Wonderful.
February 4th, 2014

February 4th, 2014  
@sparkle Life style changes then Juliette......a big vote of confidence in you though & that doesn't surprise me...I would think anyone would want you in their team!!
Hope you make the right decision for you & you alone! Good luck!!
