Down by the beach at Aberavon, Port Talbot

The weather hasn't been fantastic in my part of Wales but we have been spared (touches wood) the severe flooding that other parts of the country have suffered.

I took a stroll down to the beach with my camera and my new CZ 35mm lens to put it through its paces out and about:

Looking towards the harbour across the sand:

Along the front there are a few art sculptures funded by local government. I call this one, The Squiggle

On my way back I walked along the sand and caught site of someone's sand drawing of a plane

I took a stroll down to the seafront close to where I live around sunset. the sunset itself was hidden by The Gower Peninsula, but stopped by what I call the squiggle. This is a multiple shot combined in Photomatix and then adjusted.
