Blackpool Pizzazz, Blackpool, England, 1996

Photograph by Tomasz Tomaszewski

"Showbiz pizzazz brightens the sky with electronic pinups of the stars of Coronation Street, a venerable British-television prime-time soap opera set in nearby Manchester. Different themes highlight each year's Illuminations, begun in 1912 as a savvy ploy to extend the tourist season well into autumn."

—From "A Jolly Good Time in Blackpool, England," January 1998, National Geographic magazine
