Cardiff

On 8th June, Pam Sherren and I travelled up to Cardiff for the PAGB Print and DPI inter-club competition.  We both had work accepted for this and were interested to see what would happen, and how our work would compare with the rest of the country's club submissions.

More importantly, we went up a day early and took the opportunity to have a look around the Cardiff waterfront - now developed and quite photogenic.  We were not disappointed!

The iconic War Memorial.  Had to dodge showers and wait for a half decent sky!

View across from the Assembly Rooms towards the Cardiff skyline.

The popular water feature.  We were lucky to catch this working - but it shut off within an hour.

Little girl puzzling out how her reflection got there!

That all-important phone call!  How did we manage without mobiles ten years ago?

I deliberately haven't uploaded any images of the Welsh Assembly Rooms; a) because they were closed, and b) because those images are well documented.  Instead, I became fascinated by different designs created with Welsh slate, used on the floor.  I took the opportunity to snap a few examples during a heavy rain shower.

A fellow shelterer from the rain - using his . . .  guess what!

The Millennium Building.  Last shot before heading off for something to ear!
