Swansea Marina.

With weather being nice for a change today,Rachel and I took a walk around Swansea marina, I've been wanting to go down there and take a few pictures for a while now, mainly to have a look at what will be the tallest residential building in Wales and to have a look at the barrage, weir and bridge across it. Also, I was hoping to go get a few shots of Swansea observatory but I'd only paid for an hour in the car park and it took me just over an hour to get round the whole of the marina.

I bit the bullet and went back to the car and paid a second £1.10 just to leave the car in a half empty car park for another hour and carried on our little walk until we got to the observatory. I got a little camera happy so I'll be breaking up today into three posts and hopefully I'll try and do a little write in each post.

Red Arrows over Mumbles.

Back off my trip to France Rachel and I took a trip down to Mumbles to watch the Red Arrows air show, I will admit the the pictures aren't that great as I left the camera on auto focus meaning that it usually focuses in the closest this to it but with a bit of fiddling with Picasa image editor some of the turned out OK.

We had a pretty good time enjoying a fry up in Trams then finishing off with a Joe's ice cream. I also dragged Rachel down on the beach to take a few photos of the pier and lighthouse from across the bay.
