Had an early morning walk around Cardiff Bay a few weeks ago, watching the sun come up over Roath Basin.

Going through some of my older photos. I forgot how small and fun the Sony Rx100 IV is :)

Roath Park, Cardiff, 31 January and 3 February 2021. The north side balustrade of a bridge over the Roath Brook in Roath Park catches the wintry morning sun.

… in the late Winter afternoon light. On the jetty is Cadwaladers, Cardiff’s most popular ice cream parlour. The brick building in the background is the Victorian Pierhead Centre, masking most of the sleek Contemporary Senedd Building, home of the Welsh Parliament.

Watch it properly @ Gallery Minimal!

Sunset in Heath Parks, Cardiff. The sun has dipped well below the horizon, leaving the houses on King George V Drive North almost in silhouette.

Opened in November 2004 - just 33 months after construction had begun - the Millennium Centre is an imposing structure faced with metal, glass and Welsh slate.

A major venue for the performing arts, the centre houses the 1,900-seat Donald Gordon Theatre, the Weston Studio, rehearsals studios and several spaces to eat, drink, relax and watch free entertainment.

Above the main entrance is a monumental inscription by Welsh writer Gwyneth Lewis, written in both Welsh and English.

The text is... In These Stones Horizons Sing

Cardiff Walks. The Scott Monument in Roath Park Lake, Cardiff, commemorating Captain R F Scott, who sailed from Cardiff on his way to the Antarctic on an ill-fated expedition to reach the South Pole. The ship for the expedition that started in 1910 and ended in tragedy in March 2012 was in the 'Terra Nova', although the wind vane on top of the tower is in the shape of the 'Discovery', the ship used on Scott's voyages in 1901-1904.

This photo was taken at about 2040 (as the clock shows) on 3 August 2021, not long before sunset.

Roath Park, Cardiff, 31 January and 3 February 2021. This is a black-headed gull, named as such for its summer plumage, but here it is 'dressed' for winter. The forks of its black tail look rather odd from this angle.

Sunset in Roath and Heath Parks, Cardiff. Evening draws on and the sun will soon set, but not before its reflected colours spread across the sky.
