Actually these photos were taken yesterday when I cycled in.  Sometimes I walk, sometimes I get the train, and when absolutely necessary I will drive but not often.

Here is my complex from across the river, this ongoing construction is the reason why my car is always dusty.




The river goes from the town centre out to the Bay.  My walk takes me into town, up river. A few minutes walk away and you can see the Millennium stadium.  Town is always packed on match days so I stay in my apartment usually because to get almost anywhere, I have to go through the crowds!

Along the river one side are many industrial units, including the brewery.


On the other side of the river there are rows of terraced houses, nice big ones.


Then into town and across a bridge, we are opposite the stadium.


I cross over another bridge and then to the right is the castle and town centre, to my left is another area of town and 5 minutes away, my office. Ahead of me is Bute Park.


Here is the pedestrianised shopping street in town and the main roads past the castle, at night.



The building in the background is the tallest building in Wales (at the moment) and is where I used to work.
This is where this photo of town was taken from.


You can see the stadium but also next to it in that triangle is Cardiff Arms Park, our football grounds.

And here is the view from my office at rush hour. It is why I avoid driving in.


It's a great journey to work I think. Sets up the day!

The fall colors are beautifully muted in the picture along the river with the cat perched upon the bollard. The twinge of yellowish in the sky ties in with the leaves on the ground and the shrug.

I have a feeling that the cat has been there before, a long time ago. If not that cat, but another cat just like it. It is the place where cats, of its type, come down to the river to watch the stillness of time.

It looks like you've got ghosts walking on the "pedestrian" street.

I used all my ND filters for that.  I had 2 ND4 filters and a graduated one, so I blocked out more light from the sky and was able to slow the shutter enough to make people blur that much.  I was quite pleased with how the experiment turned out.
