"One of the biggest donors to Reform is the shipping magnate Terence Mordaunt, the head of First Corporate Shipping. His personal company, Corporate Consultants, has given hundreds of thousands of pounds to Reform. He was previously chair of the Global Warming Policy Foundation and is now a trustee."

Mordaunt is a member of #Bristol's exceedingly dodgy Society of Merchant Venturers, an old boys' club that has run/ruined the city since the mid-16th century.

Tried some sunset shots this evening. My back is acting up again which was just the motivation I needed to get out the door. I walked past a balaclavaed man with a black pole of some sort which unnerved me. Never know what to make of those folks. #bristol #photography

On the right is a path along the river. On the left is the river and left top is a series of colourful terraced houses. It is around sunset and the whole picture has a pinkish hue.
The foreground is almost level with the water and looking across it you see the colourful terraced houses and a turquoise Bridge. It is around sunset and there is a peachy hue that is also reflected in the water.
More dramatic sunset colours. The picture is a bit underexposed. The sky is peach, yellow and blue with some pink clouds and some dark gray clouds. The foreground is a marina with some docked rowboats. Beyond the water are various buildings. You can see one pillar of the suspension bridge and the top of Royal York Crescent in the background.

From our municipal vanity projects reporter.

"The decision to bid for the oil painting is bound to raise questions about the council’s priorities in the middle of a cost of living crisis. The council, along with many other English councils, faces effective bankruptcy next spring due to the ballooning costs of special needs education."

Much as I love Turner, the council should be spending its money improving the abysmal level of its services to residents.

Bristol 1975.

I love the foggy grungy mood of these two photos. Presumably taken by my dad in a Main Street of Bristol UK. Can anyone add any further info/context?

The years have not been kind to this slide film, but the photographic patina seems to perfectly slot the pictures into the appropriate moment of history.

I was born in Bristol, but in 1975 I was already well ensconced in Australia.

Project Re-Xpose.
I’m re-scanning my dad’s old 35mm slides. Many have not seen light for over 30 years.
