Blowing in the wind. by happypat

Blowing in the wind.

We went to Blackpool today to take advantage of the 25% off at M&S. It was very windy so thought I would go on the promenade & take some wild wave pictures. I don't know how we stood up in the wind it was so strong, I had to hang on to Harry but managed to take a reasonably steady photo as near to the sea as I dared go. Next to the new Comedy Carpet there was this new construction..a sort of wand thing & it was dipping & swaying in the wind. Those workmen were busy doing something ...I didn't envy them !!!!!
I have looked on google & cannot find any information about it at all !! This is the only photo taken today so all I have to offer !!
Well it's lovely! And having just walked home from school I can say it is very windy here too....at one point was being blown up the road with the wind in my back! Made me feel like a wee girl again!!!

@sarah19 Yes you mind you keep your feet Sallie, it was a bit scary on the prom it was so gusty ! I hated that sea ... frightening !!

The 'wand' thingy gives a great impression of the winds. It sure is wild and woolly at the moment. Everything around the house is creaking and whistling.

there's so much to take in in this shot! really interesting capture. It seems a bit cold and damp as well as windy?

It's so difficult to capture wind but that wand has done it for you, well spotted!

Wow! That is some capture in a wind like that . . you did a great job of getting this, Pat. Those poles are really bending. Good thing that Harry was with you!

It sounds like it was an interesting day weather wise.

Looks bleak! I suppose it is part of the cyclonic winds Scotland is experiencing at the moment!

Pat, it is rather bleak ....but then Blackpool in December is bleak...I'm impressed as to how the council and town are trying to give Blackpool a facelift....anywaya great wind pic :)

LOL the bendy thing may even have been bent by the wind!! It was an awful day for the whole of the UK I think! Hope you got your M&S bargains!!

Love the wand thingy Pat - it certainly gives a strong idea of the wind. Glad you and Harry didn't blow off into those waves.

A very strange looking shot and with all the grey tones.
