Sunset at Central Pier, Blackpool, Lancashire
Ahh, Blackpool. The Las Vegas of the UK. My hometown although I have not lived there since 1996 but I do live in its neighbouring town, Preston so it is only a hop, skip and a jump in the car to reach and the UK's most popular coastal resort certainly offers up some gems to photograph.
For a start, Blackpool has not one, two but THREE PIERS. They are all around 150 years old so the upkeep on them is tremendous but Central Pier is the 'fun pier' for it has fairground rides and a huge ferris wheel to ride on.
So last week I ventured down for a couple of hours and I managed to wander onto the pier as there seemed to be a fair amount of activity going on. Turns out, the TV show The Bay was filming at the bottom of the pier so it was assumed that I was part of the crew but once it became apparent that I wasn't, I was politely informed that I would have to leave, but I was fortunate enough to capture this scene before packing up. The secret is setting up and working quickly but the security guard was a lovely chap so it was all good.

Diva TV Priscilla Grace got a new nap spot in her very own TV, she is very happy with it and got in it as soon as it was put together, watch for her new program!
I did it again while watching a tv docu... one picture I succeeded to take well... too beautiful to let pass by and do nothing!
A habit? An escape? An addiction?
According to the statistics in the UK and US people are watching TV an average of 3-4 hours per day, every day.
If I only count up to 80 years, that's 10 years without sleeping, 87.600 hours in blue light from birth to death.
Adverts, news, weather, sport, shows, movies, episodes, repeat...
Is this how we are supposed to spend our time on Earth in our evenings till the end?
We all need escapes, no question about that. But it matters where we escape into and for how long for.
I stopped broadcast TV 15 years ago and stopped streaming from devices 5 years ago. I'm off the Blue Wheels now.
What can I report?
I've spent around 2000 evening hours on learning to play the guitar, then 2000 evening hours on creating, thinking, reading, learning and writing thanks to learning photography.
The next thousands of blue light free evenings will contain learning meditation, drawing a portrait, sculpting a bust, clarinet, trumpet, the list will go on as long my mind and body will go on.
I was born into TV culture and only by being away from it I've gained perspective and insight for myself that I wasn't just consuming TV - TV was consuming me and my time.
I feel extremely grateful that I have this pocket of time available to me just now, and for living in an era where most lessons/knowledge is free and available at my fingertips to grow and be more balanced in my life.
My evenings are containing silence, palpable joy and meaning personal to me now. TV is not designed to give me those, it's not in it's nature.
TV is designed only to give me the blues.
The New Year has come, it's time to go to bed...
Thank you all for visits, favs and comments, it's greatly appreciated!
Simkha likes to watch some TV programmes like soccer or documentary about nature. On New Year's Eve, a combination of both happened: a live mouse ran out onto the football field! Simha tried to catch her.
Thank you all for visits, favs and comments, it's greatly appreciated!

"Was zur Hölle....!?" dachte ich, als ich den alten TV-Rahmen während eines Fotoshootings der etwas anderen Art erblickte. Meine Ideen explodierten und selbst die kleinsten Synapsen in den letzten Ecken meines Kopfes tanzten vor Freude. :D
