Rhossili Beach from Cliff top
Following on from the Seascapes of Swansea Bay from Aberavon sea front, I have moved back around to Rhossili. This time rather than Worms Head I have plumped for a view of Rhossili beach from the Cliff above

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!!
