Every Autumn, and now through to  New Year, Blackpool puts on a fantastic light display that stretches over 6 miles along the seafront and features over a million bulbs.

After the sun had gone down the ferry turned and the lights on the Queen Anne had been turned on. Magical, beautiful it is hard to describe just how amazing it was. Dark skies, the glow of the ship and the iconic Liverpool buildings behind it. Well worth the wait!

May saw us at the Spring Transport Show at the British Commercial Vehicle Museum in Leyland.

Manchester's Flower Show has a long history dating back to the 1950s when it took place in Platt Fields

A scene straight out of a winter postcard. Wigan North Western Station looking like the gateway to an alpine adventure—snow-dusted platforms, frosty trees, blue skies and a golden winter sun casting a magical glow.

Imagine our surprise and delight when we were contacted by Mag North to be their North West featured photographers for 2024!
