Morecambe Promenade

The following images were taken during Bank Holiday weekend. An unusual view of  the west end of Morecambe Promenade to start with. 
The sweep of the deserted beach. 
An architectural disaster? The cafe, located at the area known as the Battery. 
Looking toward the Battery area.  It was just after 10am when I took this image. Way too early for most people to be out and about it seems!
A rocky breakwater, looking out across to the other side of Morecambe Bay. 
At last - humans! A few on the beach, with The Midland Hotel at the top right of the image. 
Another planning disaster. Ugly and a blot on the landscape, the Polo Tower. Apparently it cannot be taken down as there is a mobile phone mast at the top of it, and it is contracted to stay there for so many years. 
The Stone Jetty, with the cafe building at the end of it. 
Another view of The Stone Jetty. 
Bird sculptures can be found along a section of the Promenade. 
Another one. 
The rear of the Art Deco, Midland Hotel.
The flower beds are looking a picture. 
A Royal National Lifeboat Institution Hovercraft - called the 'Hurley Flyer' - It is used to skim across the treacherous sands of Morecambe Bay. It has been used for numerous rescues.
