nice shots. i would suggest using a tripod at night. but we still get a good vibe of the city here even if quality is lacking slightly. looks very vibrant at night.

Nice pictures. Blackpool looks so much different from the beach towns that we have here. The Victorian-ness really stands out.

most likely the latter - theyre everywhere at the mo, across Europe, even in small villages Ive seen pseudo-political stencil grafitti. Banksy btw was not the guy who started it - it toook hold first in Paris, he's just the guy who made it mainstream.
