Blackpool Street Photographer
Blackpool Pleasure Beach is a wondrous magical place during the day but the engineering, lighting and beauty of the rides really is amazing at night
and if you ever get the chance to be allowed on the roof …then ..well, then you realise just how lucky you are to live in this town.
Then the day after someone calls you to get another shot from a different roof on a different building..life couldnt get much better!
