    Ooo lots of lovely pics because of the change in light. Funny that.
    I really need to get out into them thar hills at the first sign of snow and take my camera.

    I like this.

    Is it taken at Hanneford's Quay (where there is space for about 5 cars to park at the water's edge) or farther along near the corner where the road turns inland (so where the Goat Walk begins)?

    Eitherway, a lovely place to live.

    Close... from the Causeway that goes down from the telephone kiosk at the end of Higher Shapter Street.

    @jimmyjams - the causeway in shot here. It's a good time of year for interesting light at this spot, as the sun sets directly at the end of the causeway - the golden glow as I came round the corner was extraordinary.


    Thanks for the info! And also for bonus photo indicating the exact telephone box/causeway location.
    So just past the parking and inbetween my guesses.

    I don't belong to the area, or know it very well, but I have a close writer friend whose family home was in Monmouth Street, although she is no longer there but in the USA.
    I also once had an artist acquaintance who lived in the far distance of the first photo, or perhaps just over the horizon - a km east of Luton – but she is now in south Wales.

    Anyway, from those times, I have a vague idea of things thereabouts.

    I also like the second photo – the yellowed evening light and the light shadows, the tree framing the distant view, the mast of the boat directly in line with the centre of the lane, the slight European look from the white buildings, window shutters, and door canopy, and only one element of distinctive colour - the telephone box (if you ignore the milder terracotta colour of the narrow brickwork).
    Though strangely, you can't really see the causeway! (Because it is so foreshortened in the photo and/or the tide is in a bit)

    I do like looking at the photos and the recent subject matter reminded me of this one somewhere in Wales

    It's the sea. It's supposed to have ripples. If it was perfectly flat it would look like one of those portraits where one side of a face is mirrored to make something very unnatural looking.

    It's Roath Park lake. Bit close to the weir outfall though which probably doesn't help.

    Anyway, a few from my birthday walk around the Four Falls Trail in the Brecon Beacons (currently enjoying a Cake Stop!).




    It's been quite dry so not as spectacular as they can be but the weather meant the light was better and the walk was more enjoyable.

    Top tip for the future - Waterfalls generally photograph better when the light is flat.
    Unless you want to include the sky that is.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    I thought it looked strangely familiar.

    Any takers for where I've been today? I know a few of you are definitely familiar with it

    Well, it's a Labour heartland and in Neil Kinnock's former constituency so he probably views it that way!

    Well, if last week was reflections and this week is contre-jour then...

    It's one of the pleasures of digital cameras & computing that contre-jour isn't a massive gamble of a waste of 1/24th of your roll of film.

    Nowt wrong with a phone. Just different limitations.

    Been doing some file sorting... found this image from a few years ago on a walk in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney.



    The original is beautifully sharp and detailed. Must find my password for the hosting site I had this on...

    the depth perception on there is messing with my eyes/mind - as a Dali fan that is a good thing.

    The Blue Mountains are one of the few places I have been to that lived up to their colour

    Reminds me how much nicer West Pier used to look. Not a critique of the photo at all.
