Description
This is the Merchant Seafarers War Memorial in Cardiff Bay. Shot against the sun to create lens flare and a contre jour effect, this is a striking piece of street art. 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

There is so much that is wonderful about this piece. Great composition and use of HDR to bring out the textures and colors. LF P G+ FB Tw
