Errrmmmm....well it would be, wouldn't it. Photographing the same object from the same relative position tends to result in images that are... roughly similar.
The light blue areas around the Fylde coast are the result of waterborne sediments from the Lune, Mersey and our own lovely Ribble. For reasons best known to itself it is unusually fine, which accounts for the watery coffee colour of the sea at Blackpool.
As I child, Blackpool was my only experience of the sea until my parents took me to Anglesey when I was ten, I was shocked to discover that the sea was actually clear and that you could see to the bottom of it - in the shallow bits, obviously.
