Walking on the beach (12)

This photo was taken on the beach at Blackpool - the figure is my well wrapped up wife (it was cold and windy) and the roller coaster is the pepsi max big one.

'On May 28, 1994, Blackpool unveiled their shiny new red and blue mega-monster named, appropriately, the Pepsi Max Big One. Topping off at over twenty-one stories in height, the hypercoaster dominates over a windswept, seafront plot of land spanning two sides of the Pleasure Beach's 42-acre site, boasting eight hills, five major twisting variations to the Camelback, and 5,497 feet in all of sleek steel track. The coaster's 74-mile per hour velocity is enhanced as thrillseekers are swept through Big One's extended L-shaped course while weaving under other sections of track, below support structures, and around and through other attractions all while pulling up to 3.5 g's of force, making for an unforgettable rampage through the park during the two-minute, twenty-five-second experience'.

I thought that colour is unimportant in this image, so I converted it to b&w and applied the virtual red filter to emphasize the sky and the shadow. It made it more abstract and probably more expressive. I hope you like this interpretation.
