weekly SimonB - 52 for 2024 - Week 52 - Transport

Socked it too us Simon. Nice one :)
 
That would be my choice too - very creative. Did you zoom during the exposure or were the streaks made by the lights ?
 
Good shots Simon. Your chosen one is very effective

Very good! I like it.

Thanks for all the kind comments everyone! eoSimon you're correct I did zoom out as I took the picture, I had the camera set for a five second exposure. I counted for two seconds before zooming out for the rest of the shot.
 
I was walking around Southport when I spotted Silcock's Funland, a classic spot for entertainment. Admittedly, it was a quick snap on my phone it was freezing and windy, and I just wanted to get back to the car! Southport’s largest amusement center opened on September 12, 1983 (thanks, Google) and remains a popular destination for locals and tourists, offering a mix of traditional arcade games and modern attractions.

Nice shot Simon. The last time I photographed that was 2013 using a Nikon FG and Kodak Gold :D

So I made it to the end of the year (after a large catch-up!). We were heading home after visiting the in-laws for Christmas. We had a great time with good company and plonk! It is always nice to catch up with everyone and swap stories from the year. I didn't expect to gain another story before the year was out. What would normally be a four and a half journey home turned into a nine hour crawl home.

This is my final submission for the 2024 project for transport, which was pretty much jammed for nearly 240 miles home. Still, we got home safe and sound while feeling sorry for all those who broke down on the hard shoulder.

Thanks to everyone for the kind comments and feedback throughout the year and for not mocking my large catch-up!

I wish you all a very happy and prosperous new year!

My sympathies for what sounds like an awful journey. At least it gave you an opportunity (well, probably several) for an on theme picture.
 
Are you quite sure that you didn’t take a wrong turn somewhere?
Albakoiky?

Remember - if you're stuck in tfarrfic - you ARE traffice :)
