I have many childhood memories of Rhyl with Sunday School trips and family days out. Thanks for the nostalgia, Nat.

Nice set Nat, lovely colours, nice and clear too.

Thanks Tom,Ian and Paul. I am glad that the pics brought back memories to you Ian. I never saw it in it's heyday. I intend going across the water front and hope to bring some other memories of Rhyl's glory days!

Rhyl- the "Blackpool "of North Wales

Where's the tower, trams, lights, fun fair and kiss-me-quick hats?

Those are very nice images, sharp and colourful.
That Sigma 15-30mm f/3.5-4.5 EX DG lens is a great performer in your hands.

Thanks Stephen. I will take the shots of the Tower at in part two. The Sigma lens is a very good one & little known to members, but thanks to Mickledore I went for it. No regrets at all. There is no vignetting with the lens hood on a crop body but on a FF I must remove the detachable part of the lenshood if I go down to 15mm.
