Bristol Harbour

Last summer I decided to go on a ferry ride around the harbour here in Bristol. It is something I had been meaning to do for a while but never got around to. Well on my adventures I was quite taken by the colourful houses up on the hill. There also happened to be these wonderful ducks that I felt added to the shot so here is my photographic take on the harbour side in this quirky city.

Clifton Evenings

I am very lucky to live only a matter of minutes away from the Clifton Suspension Bridge. A lot of the time I am too busy to be able to see the sunset but on this occasion I was able to capture a nice glow of the clouds, despite missing the main event. The bridge is somewhere that despite being iconic to Bristol, is still an area which is peaceful in the evenings with only a few people wandering around. I will be leaving Bristol in June and hope to capture the bridge at sunset again before then.

Cold Plunge

The Fairie Pools on the Isle of Skye are gorgeous. Located in Glen Brittle and a short and not too strenuous walk from the car park these are definitely worth going to visit. To the East the pools and Glen are overlooked by the Cuillin, the largest mountain on the island. We took the stroll up to the pools, although did not go all the way. having found a pool with a reasonably easy scramble down to the water, I decided to go for a swim. The water in the pools is crystal clear, deep and absolutely freezing. It is well worth taking warm clothes with you or perhaps investing in a wet suit like the other people swimming that day.

Bridge in the Snow

A few years back it snowed quite dramatically in Bristol. I decided to go out in the snow and after visiting the Zoo ended up trekking to the suspension bridge. I am so glad I did as seeing the area in the snow was something I probably will never get to see satin, unless the weather changes dramatically in the next few weeks.

Tower Bridge

This December I found myself with a few hours to kill in London. I decided that I would do a little it of sight seeing and so visited Tower Bridge. There is a glass platform on the top levels which is quite a nice addition but did get rather busy with people taking photos. After my visit I decided to walk along the river bank and this is where I captured this photo from. Rather randomly the Coca-Cola christmas lorry was parked up behind me at the time.

A surprisingly sunny day..

Last January I had a few spare days after my exams, before the new term started. So I decided to fill it with mini adventures. On the 22nd I took the coach to Swansea which I believe was less than £10 return. On arriving in the city I saw the buses were running to Caswell Bay so I hopped on one despite the slightly overcast conditions. By the time I arrived the sun was out and it was such a gloriously warm winter's day I even treated myself to an ice-cream as I walked along the coastal path.
