| Blackpool
- Famous English resort on a warm August afternoon. Note the
donkey ride at left, and the effect of the incoming tide.
I took a train to Blackpool crowded with vacationers with huge suitcases, and stood up most of the way. The tide came in and went out while I was there. It was amazingly fast. |
