It would be a shame not to record autumn in Cardiff. Perhaps not the best for colours, but still a lovely sight. So here are a couple of shots taken in Roath Park in mid-November which I’m reasonably happy with. The one above is taken looking towards the rose garden, the one below (in […]

I’d forgotten to post these shots from a trip I made to mid-Wales earlier this year. I used Llanwrtyd Wells as my base and stayed in a very nice B&B in the centre of the town. Needless to say, my luck being the way it is, and it being mid-Wales, it was a bit dull,

The next day, Wednesday, was an almost total wash-out. We tried Widdecombe and the church, but it was wet outside and we had to retire to the cafe. We went back to Princetown to a different cafe for lunch. We all got soaked walking up to Dartmoor Prison Museum and some went into it. We

I had been really looking forward to this workshop with Nick. The workshop planned for the spring – a return to the Elan Valley had to be cancelled and I’d taken myself off to Llanwrtyd Wells on my own instead – but not to do any bog-snorkling. [I’ve just realised I’ve not posted from that

Along with three members of the Cardiff U3A Photographic Group, I took part in a pleasant walk along the banks of the River Usk from near The Riverfront Centre to Newport’s historic Transporter Bridge. The latter part of the walk, I’d never done before, and it was good to approach the bridge from the north,

An album made up from a number of visits to the gardens at Dyffryn House through the summer. I was taken by the reflections created by the water drops entering the pond under the arch. I also created an animated gif of this shot which is rather interesting … I think. A couple of images

To finish the sequence of images from my Cornish holiday, here is a gallery of coastal shots. Locations and EXIF data can be seen by clicking on an image and then scrolling through them …
Another couple of places I used to visit regularly when I was a boy in Penzance. The fishing fleet may not be so large now in Newlyn, but it’s still there and I watched a boat leave harbour. I like the shot of the welder and also the colour in the rope shot. There’s also
