Blackpool at night

The newly revamped promenade at Blackpool looks rather splendid in the half light.
I do like the six waving Dune Grasses that sway in the wind, three of them in this photo & three more behind me in front of the tower.

Three good things:
1. Thinking about gloves!
2. Harry & I sent off for our new passports a week today, they arrived yesterday!
3. An unexpected manicure as my daughter got delayed so couldn't go to her appointment at our village Temple Beauty Clinic so she rang me & I went instead!

An atmospheric night shot. Ray got out his gloves to walk in the arboretum today (and his coat!)

[bkb in the city]

Great shot

Lovely shot looking down the beach so far in this dark light! Those dune grasses are amazing and very different for a city sculpture! It must be very nice to sit back and let someone handle your hands!

[Bep]

Very atmospheric picture, look even better on black.

[Maggie]

Super shot of the illuminations. Such good composition and atmosphere.

@alansimpson Thanks Allan & yes it does look good in colour but trying to be different!

[Pat Knowles]

@graemestevens Thank you Graeme, a bit different from your coastline!

[Pat Knowles]

@motherjane Yes I never tried it on black Jane, thanks for reminding me!

[Pat Knowles]

@quietpurplehaze I have Raynaurds so my fingers were numb this morning Hazel!

[Pat Knowles]

@bkbinthecity v. Thanks Brian.

[Pat Knowles]

@maggiemae The dune grasses wave about which is rather attractive Maggie, might be good to go in a howling gale & see how far they bend!

Great shot for B&W .. your 3 dune grasses look very much like the ones @dide has just got for her garden... always good to have a manicure..

[Pat Knowles]

@gijsje Thank you Bep, glad you like!

[Pat Knowles]

@snaphappi Thanks maggie, not as nice as Nz coastline but OK in its own way.

@happypat

My dear Auntie Betty had a problem with hands that were cold and I got her a pair of gloves with silver in them from the Renaud's society.

[KWind]

What a wonderful area! Super night shot!

A beautiful night scene I am sure it looks great in colour (As you know I love colour !!)

[Pat Knowles]

@quietpurplehaze I will check that out Hazel thank you. The bane of my life, I even have dead fingers in the summer! I see you spelt it right!

[Babs]

Super night shot. I see there are still a few brave people out there in the cold.

[Chris K]

[Wendy]

Fantastic shot, Pat. So good to see you post the occasional shot in B&W - so well done!
This one has excellent contrasts and great leading lines. It is truly an artistic shot!
A FAV for me!

[Leana Niemand]

What a lovely B&W, a fav.

Lovely evening shot Pat.
