Abandoned House – Cheshire
This afternoon I was travelling back from my Grandparents house in Nantwich and decided to stop to take a photograph of this abandoned house. I have been going past this house in the car since I was a baby and always looked out for it through the window. Every time I go past I think it might just be the last time I see it before someone comes and destroys it.
Blackpool Tower Shadow on the Beach with North Pier
I had a fantastic day yesterday, exploring the town and taking photos, but I couldn”t come to Blackpool without going up the Tower. I had been up it before (more than once in fact) but this was when I was much younger. I was very put off by the price of a ticket – £15 each for an adult! To be fair this includes a look around their aquarium, ballroom and even a circus (but we didn”t have the time to go to the next showing). I just wish they had had a cheaper ticket for just going up the tower and that’s it. Still it was another beautiful day and the views from the top were fantastic. I couldn”t make out the Beetham Tower but I did get great views over the whole town. I took a lot of photos,but thought I would share this one as I thought it was a little different from the usual “tourist” images you see captured from the top of the tower. I really love the way the shadow leads the eye into the photograph and towards the North Pier.
Blackpool’s Central Pier with donkeys on beach
Central Pier reminds me a lot of the fun fairs that used to travel around the country visiting different towns. There is a lot of “Here mate, win your girlfriend this huge teddy so big you could hardly carry it, but its only 50 pence a go!”. I found that the colours of the different attractions on this pier are very interesting both from a photographic and a graphics point of view. The tide had gone out at this point and there were children riding donkeys up and down the beach. Evidently I am now too old (or too heavy) to be riding a donkey on the beach!
