Mumbles, South Wales

Took a bike ride to Mumbles this evening and took my Canon in my Pannier with a couple of lenses.

This is Mumbles Lifeboat station and the end of the pier:

Just as I headed back towards Swansea, the sun was setting and Oystermouth Castle's floodlights lit the castle:

Canon 5D mk III 70 - 200 at 200mm f/5.6 and 1/100 (and I just remembered that the IS was turned off as was last using it on a tripod!) and ISO 800

Cycled again from Swansea's new SA1 development to Mumbles and back on another fine evening.

This is the lifeboat station again slightly different light and a different lens:

On the way back I knew I would like to take a picture of the new bridge linking one part of the waterfront to the other over the river Tawe:

Nice shots, I particularly like the new bridge. I'm from Swansea, so I was surprised to see this thread on Canon Rumors!
