Strictly speaking they would be correct, but if I hadn't done that the waves and the headland would have been too dark. This photography game can be a tricky balancing act between light and dark, sometimes. </p> <p>I don't mind the bright bit top left as it matches the darker bit top right and makes it feel balanced.

This had gone quiet for a couple of years but is now in the local news <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-mid-wales-22158305">again</a>:</p> <p><i>"Homes standing in the way of a shopping development in Aberystwyth could be compulsorily purchased.</p> <p>Tesco and Marks and Spencer have signed a deal with developers and Ceredigion council to build in Aberystwyth, and contracts have been exchanged.</p> <p>It is understood three homeowners in Glyndwr Road are still refusing to sell up"</i></p> <p>It's all based on lies. It will not "create 280 jobs", it will (over the course of a few years) move jobs from other shops in the town and in the surrounding villages as they are forced to close down. People are not suddenly going to spend more money on their shopping just because there is another supermarket in the town to add to the 3 major ones we already have, even if they could afford to in this difficult economic climate. It will suck money and jobs into Aberystwyth, to the detriment of all the nearby villages. It might even result in the closing of one or both of the shops in my village.</p> <p>Perhaps it will "boost town centre trade by between £1.6m and £3.5m a year" as the council claim (without justification), but if it does that is money that would have gone to other shops, and other villages. It is not new money. </p> <p>I find it outrageous that a shop can force people out of their houses in order to increase their own profits, whilst sucking the life from a large-ish area around. Perhaps the council members who are in cahoots with Tesco think they are doing their job by doing what is best for the town, but if that is the case their thinking is very short-sighted. </p> <p>This is not going to create jobs, it is going to move them around (to tesco). It is not going to create money, it is going to move it around (to Aberystwyth).</p> <p>Tom. </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://seasideman.blog.co.uk/2013/04/16/tesco-lies-and-aberystwyth-15759905/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p> tag:seasideman.blog.co.uk,2013-04-15:/2013/04/15/concentration-15756993/SeasideMan2013-04-15T10:54:42+02:002013-04-15T10:54:42+02:00 <p><img src="http://data8.blog.de/media/578/6986578_6b330699a2_o.jpeg" alt="concentration"></p> <p>As is so often the case, a lesson can be learned from our doggie friends: when you want something really badly, concentrate on it VERY HARD!</p> <p>Cheers, Tom. </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://seasideman.blog.co.uk/2013/04/15/concentration-15756993/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p> tag:seasideman.blog.co.uk,2013-04-14:/2013/04/14/all-change-15753917/SeasideMan2013-04-14T09:23:23+02:002013-04-14T09:23:44+02:00 <p><img src="http://data8.blog.de/media/488/6984488_0171e0faa5_o.jpeg" alt="elan_valley"></p> <p>Last weekend we had ^</p> <p>This weekend it's nice and warm but incredibly windy and wet.

It's quite a tall and steep hill that, when the weather is good, gives a good view both across the town and across Cardigan Bay. There is a funicular railway, but we walked up. Well worth the walk it was too.</p> <p><img src="http://data8.blog.de/media/236/6978236_8ac5adf5ed_o.jpeg" alt="cliff2"></p> <p>I did take a few pictures looking across the town and across the bay, but they didn't turn out too well as they were directly into the sun.

It's a stunningly beautiful place and an absolute dream for photography, walking, sight-seeing, picnicing or whatever. I didn't get many pictures as I rather stupidly fell over and got drenched (shortly after taking the picture above).</p> <p>We will definitely be going back again quite soon.</p> <p>Cheers, Tom. </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://seasideman.blog.co.uk/2013/04/09/elan-valley-15735699/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>
