Clifton Observatory

 I feel very lucky to live only minutes away from the iconic Clifton Suspension Bridge. It is somewhere that I hope to go one time and capture the sunset. I just missed it when I went for an evening walk a couple of weeks ago and instead got to see these wonderful pink clouds. The building here is the Clifton Observatory which houses a camera obscura and also a pathways down into the cliffs to look over the gorge which is something I hope to visit before I leave Bristol in the summer.

Bristol Ferries

Last summer before heading home for the holidays I opted to take a ride around on the Bristol Ferry. These small boats with their friendly crew take you around the floating harbour for a decent price for a hop on/off ticket. I took the boat all the way to both ends of its route. To one end it offers a service to Temple Meads train station the other goes up to Hotwells and then you can hop off at the S.S Great Britain which is what I chose to do. Here I thought the flag waving in the breeze with the colourful houses in the background made for a nice shot.
