Cardiff Bay

I went to Cardiff Bay on Sunday and took the Canon M6 with me, it’s my go-to camera for traveling as it’s so light and unobtrusive.

There was some welcome dry autumnal weather this weekend. There’s been such a prolonged spell of wet and gloomy weather over the past few weeks it was just wonderful to see the sun again.

Cardiff Bay has a number of iconic buildings, I’ve mooched around here with my camera on many occaisions, in fact, I make a point of doing so whenever I find myself in the city. The red brick Pierhead building is always striking but in the low November sun it was an obvious target for my camera. As you get close to it the brickwork has splashes of filligree amongst it. A beautiful building.

Just a short walk away there are lots of bars and restaurants as well as small water gardens built into the old docks. The leaves have well and truly taken on their autumn colours and will fall soon.

But it was lovely to catch the sunlight as it dappled through them this morning.
