A View of Aberystwyth Seafront

Marine Terrace, Aberystwyth, Ceredigion, Wales (Cymru), United Kingdom, on Friday 1st September 2023.
About the photograph.
I invited my best friend to come with me to Aberystwyth for a couple of nights. My reason for going there was to take photos of a rally motorsports event called Rali Ceredigion which took place on the 2nd and 3rd of September.
The reason I invited her was because she was born there, and figured it would be a nice chance for her to get to see her family there while I go and take the photos.
We arrived at Aberystwyth on Friday 1st September, after checking into the bed and breakfast, we decided to go out to the seafront. I opt to leave my Nikon DSLR at the hotel, if I want to take some photos, I can always use my smartphone.
This photo of the bay, is seen from just outside the Royal Pier at the junction of Marine Terrace, New Promenade, and Pier Street.
It was taken with Apple iPhone 7.
About Rali Ceredigion.
This is a rally motorsports event that took place over the weekend of Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd September 2023 in and near the seaside town of Aberystwyth, as part of the 2023 British Rally Championship.
I have taken many photos of the event on Saturday, and will process the photos, select some, and upload to my Flickr account maybe in next few months. I have a lot of other selected photos waiting for their turn to get uploaded, so it will be a while for me to slot the new photos into the list of waiting for uploading.
About Aberystwyth.
Aberystwyth is a Welsh coastal town and community in the county of Ceredigion, Wales, with a population of approximately up to about 16,000. It is located roughly more or less at the middle point along the west coast of Wales, and next to Cardigan Bay.
It was said that on a very clear day, you could make out the landmass of Ireland across the sea.
The earliest records of Aberystwyth are around early 1100s with the building of a fortress on a hill, on the south bank of the Ystwyth River, and this gave the town its name of Aberystwyth.
The fort was destroyed, and around the 1270s, a new castle was built in Aberystwyth until about 1649 when it was damaged during the English Civil War.
The building of the harbour had helped the town’s economic growth during late 18th and early 19th centuries, then around about the 1860s, a railway line reached the town, and this in turn, gave it a tourist boom.
It then became a popular holiday destination for most of the middle and working class people.
Aberystwyth University started life from around 1870s, and the National Library of Wales started from around 1900s.
