Bristol pics
The weather was slightly overcast, so quite a few of the pic came out very poorly. Also, some of them appear a bit pixelated - not sure why. But anyhow, for your viewing enjoyment:
As usual, all pics are clickable.
St. Augustine's Parade. Quite a smart idea to place some big urinals right in the street, but what's all that foam doing there?
Bordeaux Quay.
Queen Square.
Same as above; some kind of open air peformance.
Phoenix Wharf, St. Mary's Redcliffe Chirch.
Bathurst Wharf, HMS Golden Cross (yes, it's a tug), Industrial Museum.
Brandon Hill, Cabot Tower and the Cathedral.
"Stothert & Pitt Engineers Ltd., Bath 1951 England, Load Not To Exceed 3 Tons"
*sniff sniff* - a fake horse.
Nice lorry. I like the colour.
A380 final assembly line at Toulouse-Blagnac ahem, that's the Brabazon, circa 1950.
Brabazon Sheds. Right now they house two derelict DC-8s of Ghana-based MK Airlines, another MK DC-8 is standing just outside. Quite sad, really.
Need to show this to my mates who'll be working for Rollers here.
Concorde front end.
Product line of British & Colonian Aeroplane Company and its successors.
*puf puf puf* *choo choo!*
Clifton. Nice name for a yacht.
Clifton Suspension Bridge and the district of Hotwells.
All traffic stops.. Where's the bridge?
A-ha!
Somewhere in Clifton. Nice area, but a bit too posh.
Also in Clifton, facing south. As you can see, it's quite hilly.
Eh? I thought it was Mr. Columbus? I think they mean specifically North America.
View from the Cabot Tower towards the centre. Many an ugly building were erected there after the Germans bombed the crap out of it duing the War.
The Cathedral, St. Mary's Redcliffe church as well as some lovely 'burbs and kerrostalot.
SS Great Britain (in a dry dock).
Clifton rooftops and the bridge.
That's it. Thanks for viewing.
I think it's also possible to see the Welsh side from the Cabot Tower. As you can see, Bristol does have some really nice areas with lots of decent shoppes etc., but it also has some really really dodgy ones. I didn't take any pics of the dodgy ones, :) but they do exist. There also seems to be a significant number of hippies, goths and even punks here, which is slighly unusual, or so one would think. I also saw a Vicky Pollard lookalike in the centre yesterday, complete with full chav regalia (tracksuit, golden hoop earrings etc.). Mutta jees, it ain't all too bad.
