Back To Black (pool) 2017


October saw our annual pilgrimage to the Blackpool Illuminations, to both have an evening out with a bit of exercise, and to add a few more pics to Amy's 'Light Trails' project...


We didn't do our full route this time; usually we get the tram down to the very end of the line and walk it, but then usually we go on a weeknight.  Being a Saturday this year, the trams were packed like sardine tins and we'd had about all we could stand by the time we'd reached just past the South Pier, so we bailed off.


Not a proper shot for the project, but what you get when you let the Childs all buy lightsabres...


In the end Amy didn't end up doing too many shots, as last year she covered about everything she wanted to, but she snapped a few pics, this time trying for some more zooming-out images with looser focus.


I (Ben) decided to try and get some better tram pics than I managed last year, mainly because this year a lot of the heritage fleet were out and about.





Finally, Amy making the most of the Tower being scaffold-free again this year.



So not as many pics this year, but that's mainly because last year was so good.  But we did get a nice walk out of it, and its always something we enjoy doing...


...and a pic published, in Railway Magazine (Dec 2017 issue).
