I looked at the definition of Arches in definitive source known as Wikipedia before heading out, plainly it should have referred to flat arches too….. Great picture too

I don't blame you for going for it anyway... gorgeous light and really nice composition.

Thanks Simon. I was out with just the 105mm on my Nikon Zf so this is an iPhone shot :)
 
I lived a whole year (9 months) in Morecambe as a 2nd yr student at Lancaster. Can't remember it looking so charming. That was back in 81/82 I think. There was the famous pier at that time.

My Wife did the same about that time.
 
Great light in the arches shot, give it a lovely golden hue. The weather shot has a good comp and that sky looks ready to drop buckets on you any minute.

Ta - and it did about 10min later!
 
A good set up & you can definitely see that it's about to pour down as Ryan mentioned! Very apt for the theme
 
Arches - "they're not strictly arches" is a marvellous understatement but that's a lovely photo with nice warm light, made better by all the people with their arms in the taking-a-photo position.
Weather - what a great sky!

Well - it aPIERS there is a 'Flat Arch' that shape in me owd Architectural design book. Just need to imagine the bricks going across the tops :) I wanted one of the Settle/Carlise Railway viaducts but the buggers decided to run one down the coast instead. I have plenty of Viaduct and steam shots in my back catalogue - but taking a shot in the correct week is more my style even if the old horn of shoe is dusted off :banana:

Loving the Arches shoe horn (I may have something in the same vein to come).
Weather is great. Doesn't the Winter Garden building have the look of a Victorian Terminus.
