Very nicely captured.

This comet sure gets around!

It's a wonderful image.

Where abouts in Bedminster Down was this taken from please?

[Ouroboros]

That’s a great image. 

Just a picky point!  Maybe I’m wrong but I reckon Isambard Kingdom Brunel would have made his bridge level. Does the pic need rotating a tad?

Brunel did not live to see the bridge completed. So maybe it does tilt a bit ?

Great photo Bob

My Dad painted that view (minus a comet and in daylight) back in the 1980's. He worked at the Bristol Water Company in their HQ on Bedminster Down and his office had that view, over the cemetery. He used to joke that one day he would end up there, and indeed he sadly did about 30 years ago now.

The view is a very nice one though and actually puts a smile on my face each time I see it
