Description
Cardiff Bay played a major part in the development and success of Cardiff as an exporter of coal to power the industrial age. Tiger Bay is historically one of the first multicultural ports in Great Britain and the community comes from up to 45 different nationalities. The docks were regenerated in 1999 by the creation of the Cardiff Bay Barrage

Love the sepia tones for it gives this photograph a sense of age and weight of a time gone by. Great framing of main subjects - my eye is instantly drawn to the Monument of the face that lays within the cobblestone circle. The metalwork sculpture of this face lies on it side; it is incomplete and seemingly cast off which leads the view to wonder what the story is behind it. My eye then travels to the industrial building with the clock tower off to the right with the impressive architecture - and reading the description, it too has a story to tell. L/F
