Photo of the day – Aberaeron

As I become a 24/7 wheelchair user, as my feet give out and EDS pokes it tongue out at my attempts to defy it, I am having to find new ways of taking photographs. I spend a lot of time driving about the sparsely populate county of Ceredigion. Part of Ceredigion clings to the middle of the West Wales coast, on a good day, views to rival those of some of the best locations in the world. As I drive I am now learning to play spot the lay-by incase theres a good photograph opportunity I can grab, from the comfort of my car, or just leaning on it outside of it. This photograph was taken from one such lay-by. One I will be revisiting as the seasons change and the daylight hours lengthen. Here is my first shot over looking Aberaeron. If you are ever this way, make sure you pull into the town itself and stop for a while. The brightly painted houses give light to the darkest day. Nestled there is a lovely harbour, with pretty views over the church and out to sea. The Hive is a fabulous place to stop for a cup of coffee or an ice cream in season. If you have a bit more time, their menu for lunch is good! There are many other eateries in Aberaeron and some quaint little shops. Well worth a visit!
