Promenade August 1998

A big  part of Blackpool's appeal is it's location, which in the Summer months gets the sun falling directly onto the Promenade for most of the day and pretty late into the evening. If you look at a map of the world apart from Ireland there is no land between Blackpool & Canada, which I 'm sure gives it the special light that Edward Hopper would envy.

This is down by the South Pier at around 8pm, just as the sun is going down and  illuminating everything with a warm yellow glow.

As ever you can see the tower in the background.
