Cardiff Photography Thread 2008-09

[spacemonkey]

I've just been looking at B0B2009's St.Davids 2 thread and some of Ed's photos over at
http://www.urban75.org/photos/wales/cardiff-bay.html

Thought maybe we could have an on-going photography thread with shots from in and around our capital city (and maybe a short description)!

Any quality images, from SLR to camera phone are welcome (I'm not really a very good photographer, and easily impressed!)

I'll start off with a few...

The Ferris wheel at Cardiff winter wonderland.

A random alleyway behind Churchill Way

Folk enjoying a nice sit down in bute park.

Concerned dragon is concerned.

Cardiff Sightseeing bus (and Ms.Spacemonkey) on the steps to the museum

the new m & s building looks really good imo. respect for the historic facade with a modern introduction that does not damage the original building.

 

[ddraig]

it does look ok, but not as big as i thought it was going to be from the plans

seen the story about the Hawks brought in to protect the grass roof on the new library?

Nice photos, PAD10H. Intriguing.

Here's one which sort of is and isn't from Cardiff. It's the view from the side of stage during our Xmas show. Not spam! So it is Cardiff, but not a view that any of ye will be able to savour.

Taken on a ropey Motorola camera phone.
