A View from a Bridge

I took these photos while walking across the old Severn Bridge last summer - I have only just worked on them because I had all those computer problems last year and I didn't get round to it.
Well now I have the time I am working my way through the photos that need editing and filing and here are two from that walk

Angels of Canford

I love graveyards. I love the monuments - these Angels are in Canford Cemetery in Bristol, I was there on Thursday for a funeral but just had time to take a few shots. I hope to go back there and Arnos Vale soon to get lots more shots of the beautiful monuments

Risca in January

Took a walk into Risca the other day it was such a nice afternoon and I haven't been out for a while with the camera for two reasons the first is the weather has been atrocious, and while I don't mind the cold I really hate getting wet. The second reason is I have had a really bad cold, and am still waking up in the morning feeling like I have razor blades in my throat. So here are my meagre offerings.

Finally work has begun on the Palace - the old cinema building has been abandoned and in disrepair for many years - this month however has seen the main part of the building demolished while the listed façade is being preserved. The plan is that Tesco will build a new library and community resource centre as well as opening a Tesco Express - it will be interesting to see how the finished project will look and I will post developments as and when the occur

All that Glitters

I like all girls love glittery things - the more glittery the better - so todays photos are of some glittery items from my collection

This stunning necklace was made by my friend Mark Bowen who runs his own business Uncaged Beauty - they have a shop in Cardiff's High Street Arcade and a website click here so why not check it out - mind you if you do you will want to buy something, and please tell them I sent you!

The necklace below I bought from Ebay for about £15 and came with the bracelet as well very glam - very Marilyn

Still Life

I've never really been one for still life photography - always seemed a bit complex, what with setting up the shot and getting the lighting right - but this year I'm going to try different things - so the still life images below are the start of that - but I'm going to keep it as simple as possible
