This is terrible of me I know, but in the main, I prefer your shots of the man made landscape rather than what nature has given us. I love walking along coastal shores, especially living in landlocked Derby, but I don’t take a lot of photos when I do.
Love the transporter shots from the upper deck and with the gondola just hanging there in space.
Other half says next time we are down in Bristol we need an excursion to have a look ourselves.
Full marks also to Smiths Toys and the Energy recovery Facility.
I find the man made world more creatively inspiring and the natural world more spiritually inspiring. A photo of natural beauty feels more like simply relaying what is out there whereas interpreting the man man world feels more like I’m adding myself into the shot. Also less people photograph these things so its easier for me to see them freshly, or at least I hope that is the case! The transporter bridge is a great day out and the best £3 I’ve spent in a long time, its not open every day though so check the timetable http://www.newport.gov.uk/heritage/Transporter-Bridge/Visit.aspx
Crickey, you put it better than I ever could. Thanks for the link to the Transporter Website. £3 = Bargain
Hi Quentin, not exactly sure where the dividing line is but your Cardiff photos aren’t in Gwent. Cardiff used to be South Glamorgan but is now just Cardiff. Lovely photos. Great images of the Transported Bridge, glad you managed to return on an open day, hoping to visit in spring when it reopens.
Hi Jackie,
Many thanks for pointing this out error, the modern dividing line on my OS map is South of St Mellons on the outskirts or Cardiff. I have changed the captions on the relevant images to Glamorgan (I’m grouping all the Glamorgan counties together for my project). The transporter bridge was a great experience!
