Le Blackpool

OK, so I'm a couple of days behind everyone else with this, and I promise that this isn't going to become a Blackpool tourism blog, but... I love this smart, beautifully shot advert for Blackpool. The word is that they are trying to encourage French people to visit the city with their alluring Parisian-esque scenes - and there isn't even a hen do in sight! Well done the Blackpool tourism board!

Seaside Romance

You wouldn't know it to look at me, but I'm actually from a seaside town 'up North' called Blackpool. Photographer David Nightingale has managed to capture the romance of Blackpool, making me want to get in the car and drive there now. There is some serious technique involved in making these images look as wonderful as he does - check out the rest of his gallery, and have a look at his blog for more wind swept imagery.
