Blackpool's North Pier is probably one of my favourite man-made structures, but since moving to Bulgaria I haven't had quite as many opportunities to photograph it. When I was last back in the UK though (in October) I did get three or four shots that I like, of which this is the first that I'll post. If you're interested, the rest of my shots of the North Pier are here:

I REALLY love Blackpools North Pier for a lot of reasons. The simplicity of this shot is one of them! Very nice, and very typical shot - although a stormy shot is equally likely....and maybe more compelling?

Love the toning of this with the slither sand(?) coming through.
