Kevin and I have travelled to Cardiff today for a couple of days holiday. The first thing we did when we arrived was to walk into the city centre to meet up with Meirion, one of Kevin’s friends from his Uni days here. As we walked over the railway bridge I noticed some of the many new hotels that have sprung up since we last visited ten years ago and I was struck by the way their stark, geometric lines contrasted with the soft stripes in the sky beyond.

So you also had a gray day ... same here. Ryana · 2011-12-29: 13:08
