This is a colour photograph of the sunrise over the Bristol channel. The front of the picture is some hedgerow and some plant arms stretching to the sky which are in darkness. The channel is behind with the sun rising. It is golden yellows along the channel whilst as we get nearer to the top of the picture the night sky is being chased away. It turned out to be a lovely day.

The lobby ceiling in the Trinity Building. I didn't expect to visit a 120 year-old landmark for an MRI ;)

This thing is a remnant of the Gilded Age, and was finished in 1905. It's next to Trinity Church.

This park is built around old warehouses and was part of the deal when constructing Industry City, which is a few blocks away.

Photography doesn’t have to be “pretty” to express an idea or concept. And success of an image shouldn’t be judged by likes, etc. We are all hard-wired for kittens and sunsets (me included), but there is so much more to explore in this rich visual medium.
