Another post taken earlier this year… This was taken at the Cabot Circus shopping mall in Bristol. The riots in London had just broken out earlier in the week. We almost cancelled our travel plans when we heard that the riots had spread to places including Bristol. Thankfully, things had quietened down when we finally arrived in Bristol.
The shortest day of the year, the Winter Solstice, will soon be arriving. I can’t wait for that to come — it’s increasingly getting more difficult to get up in the dark for work in the mornings. Neither is it fun going home from work in the darkness and cold 😛 As I wait for the days to lengthen (and hence allow more time for photography), I will be looking through some of the pictures that I took earlier this year in the UK. Here’s one that I took at the Salford Quays Millennium footbridge in Manchester earlier in September.
In fact, autumn’s been officially here for a month although the trees have only started to change colours. I hoped to catch some of these colours on a visit to Kew Gardens this weekend. From what I saw, the colours were not yet in full swing. There was however, still enough red around for me to take some shots of 🙂
