That's a very different view of the tower, to what we normally see. Very nice picture Pablo.
Thanks

Wow...very interesting pics! My Mum and Dad used to go dancing at the Tower ballrooms. Wish we still had a pier... with all the modern developments in New Brighton now, that would be a nice nod to tradition to balance them. Bringing back the ferry would be too much to hope for!
