Storm Coming

As the weather this week has been a little moody to say the least I though that I would produce a work to reflect this. After spending a little time working on this last night (05/05/2015) I though I was going to get wet taking the dog (Tequila) for a walk, It wasn't even raining!

Swansea Bay - Aberavon Sea Front

I recently downloaded Google Camera as an app for my phone, this app is linking in with Google Views and is placing images onto Google maps. It also has the capability for panoramic photographs. I took several panoramic shots on a recent visit to Aberavon sea front overlooking Swansea bay.
I am looking at producing two work from these photos, more abstract than recent works.
Lets just hope these turn out as I have pictured them in my head!!
