| I did think about calling these set of images - 'Blackpool Stripped Bare' - for the famous seaside town is a very different place on a Tuesday afternoon in February compared to how it promotes itself to the throngs of holidaymakers and day trippers during the Summer months. Indeed a good deal of Blackpool is shut at this time of the year, deserted and looking a bit down at heel in places, instead of its brash and busy self. However, if I have to visit Blackpool, then I much prefer this time of the year to avoid the thousands of people who would be there in the Summer. I started off on a walk along a breezy promenade at the North Pier. |
 |
| No one around to buy candy floss or pop corn at the North Pier. |
 |
| The sea was rolling in at the North Pier. |
 |
| This made me feel sick just looking at the building. I simply do not eat sea food of any kind. |
 |
| Not many passengers on this tram heading towards Starr Gate, having started its journey at Fleetwood. |
 |
| The iconic Blackpool Tower. |
 |
| Looking into the weak, but welcome sunshine towards Central Pier. |
 |
| Blackpool Lifeboat Station and Shop. |
 |
| Coral Island. |
 |
| The Sea Life Centre. |
 |
| A bit closer to Central Pier. The sea was quite choppy, with a gusty wind blowing it on shore. |
 |
| A fisherman and his dog. |
 |
| Looking back at the Tower. |
 |
| Madame Tussauds, home of waxwork figures. |
 |
| The Big Wheel on Central Pier. (Part 2 of a February in Blackpool will be continued tomorrow). |
A nice set of images, free of visitors there is a completely different atmosphere. I live in a seaside resort and I really like the winter time.
