A shot from this afternoon. As the day went on the weather deteriorated. This is on the recently restored pier in the town of Bangor in North Wales. You can see the island of Angelsey on the left, the mainland on the right.

 

The kids were fishing for crabs, though I haven't a clue what they would have done if they'd caught any.

 

Canon 5D, 28mm Elmarit.

Maybe you did Andy, if I get an M8 I may be prepared to sell it back to you - at a profit of course ;-)

 

Here's another shot from the same 'roll'. 50mm Summicron this time.

In spite of my name English isn’t my mother tongue so please overlook my mistakes graciously. In 1998 I visited an old schoolmate of mine who emigrated to Wales and worked as a general practitioner on Anglesey. On my way back to London (and from there to Germany), I decided merely out of a whim to stay for 2 days in Bangor.

I stayed at the Eryl Mor Hotel which "offers stunning views of Bangor Pier and the Menai Strait". So thanks for sharing your beautifull pictures and thus reviving my memories.

 

Regards

Jonathan, your written English was perfect, I wish my German was 10% as good!

 

There was a hotel just before the pier a little higher up a gentle hill. I wonder if that was the hotel?

 

I'm glad that the image brought back memories for you.

Thank you Steve. To be honest I use the net (i.e. Google, online dictionaries etc.) quite heavily to mask my poor skills ;-)

 

Yes, that was the Eryl Mor Hotel. Later I was told that it is the best hotel in Bangor. Unfortunately I had to leave after one night because the other day started a swimming contest and all hotels were fully booked for the rest of the week.

They have a nice website: http://www.erylmorhotel.com/
