    • Thanks – I stayed in Cardiff for three days do do this collection, returning to the same building when the light was right

      • Anyone following your blog should note that to get the best shots sometimes takes planning, thought and patience.

  1. Fantastic shots of Cardiff – I was at Uni here. My, how the docklands have changed. I totally remember being struck by the forms in the engineering structure of the Morgan Arcade.

    • Thank you – it’s a beautiful city! The docks have certainly seen a lot of change and I’m not sure I could draw Morgan Arcade!

Whether you have comments on the photos, some knowledge or a personal story on this area you’d like to share, or you’ve spotted a typo or error, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
