La Tour Eiffel

Glowing bright and beautiful in the darkness of night

I made colourful Brixham one of our final stops and a must-visit for photography before we ended our trip to southwest England. We weren’t able to book a B&B in Brixham, but we were able to make do with a stay at another lovely B&B in nearby Torquay. The weather held up nicely for us that day, giving me a good opportunity to capture the reflections at Brixham Harbour at dusk.

I had high photographic hopes for the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta when I made plans to visit during my break from work in the UK. The recent nice summer weather in London was unfortunately let down by the fierce England riots, which cast initial doubts over our travel plans. When we did finally arrive in Bristol, the weather became drizzly with white cloudy skies, putting a dampener on my hopes of capturing scenes of hot air balloons against a blue summer sky. Thankfully, the atmosphere at Saturday’s night glow event made up for the gloomy weather which only cleared up when we left Bristol for London on Sunday afternoon.
