I find fireworks are best enjoyed gratis and around here you don’t get a much wider view than that offered from Penclawdd. Below are just a few of the long exposure shots I took from there tonight. More could undoubtedly have been produced but have you felt how cold it Read more…
It’s hard to believe that November is already upon us but arrive it has and with no sign of changing October’s grey and showery conditions. Both Saturday and Sunday were compromised by heavy downpours and leaden skies so it was nice to see a splash of colour with which to Read more…
After a long few days it was nice to see the sun pop out from behind the clouds this evening, even if only for a few minutes. Though brief the sunset’s colours were similarly strong to those of a week ago and I was once again able to capture these Read more…
