Ah but sunshine in Langland Bay this morning for a stroll with @leeg8.bsky.social so no complaints today! 😎
Hope it brightens up for you!

The Treorchy Male Choir in superb form at a concert yesterday in aid of the hospice for children Tŷ Hafan. A brilliant choir from Bishop Gore school and soloists from the Welsh School of Music too. A totally Christmassy treat ❤️✨
Pic of the Treorchy choir on stage, most wearing red scarfs with their black suits and bow ties on stage at the Brangwyn Hall, Swansea. Conductor Rhiannon Williams is in the foreground.

Bore da folks - a new week! Hope yours goes well.
This was low tide Mumbles yesterday. A colour photo, honest! 😳
A colour photo of Mumbles low tide foreshore, the buildings at the bottom of Mumbles hill and Knab Rock and the Pier. Colour pic but looks sepia in the low cloud gloom.

Ice and fire in Swansea city centre today. Brilliant ice sculpting! ✨
Ice sculptor working on his block of ice with a chainsaw. Continuing to carve the ice block, a jet of water spouts through the block. The sculpture has emerged from the block - a beautiful sea horse. The sculptor adds the finishing touches to his work. The sculptor raises his hands in the air behind the finished sculpture while fireworks and flames leap up in the foreground.

View of Swansea Marina at night with lots of lighted windows in the waterside apartments and Swansea Arena lit up fiery red and orange behind them. All reflected in the still mirror waters of the marina.

Legendary architect Frank Gehry dies aged 96 www.bbc.com/news/article...
RIP Frank. Master of incredibly exciting, startling, impossible buildings.
Frank Gehry's jaw-droppingly glorious gallery in the Bois de Boulogne, Paris. In glass and steel. Reminiscent of a galleon in full sail.

Lovely and calm in Swansea Marina after sundown. 💙
Calm still water in a marina with golden sunset light and clear blue sky reflected in the water. Lights were on around the Pump House on the right hand side.

I thought there had to be a big moon - this evening's high tide was a whopper! 🌊
High tide surging in on Swansea Bay with waves curling higher than the West Pier.

One of St Paul's studios in Talgarth Road, West London. Tall broad art deco style windows set in the roof to allow maximum light for "bachelor artists" to work. Ornamental stone detail and 19th century brickwork.

Here's the pill at Oxwich Bay. We all need some blue!💙
A wonderful white cloud like an explosion in the blue sky is reflected in the calm shallow river running through marshes into the sea at Oxwich Bay.

Afternoon folks! A busy morning of trying to fix Things That Have Gone Wrong so tea-break well overdue.
Happy Monday, white rabbits and wow, we are officially in the run-up to Christmas! 🎄
A wet and grey day here but this was the view of Swansea Bay yesterday from Mumbles 💙💙
A blue day in Swansea Bay. Smooth billowing of the incoming tide and puffy white clouds reflected in the blue sea with blue sky above. The east coast of the bay looks a long way off!
