A year in Bristol

Our first 12 months in Bristol
By Chris Guy posted on 10 Sep 2016 in Urban

Twelve months ago today we moved into our new house in Bristol. Despite being a confirmed Londoner for the previous 27 years, Bristol has very quickly felt like home. It’s a great city and a wonderful place to live. To celebrate the anniversary here are 12 of my personal favourite shots of from the past year.

Suburban cityscape with rows of houses and several high-rise apartment blocks on the skyline, with trees, rail lines and industrial roofs beneath a clear blue sky.

East Bristol cityscape, February early morning

Cartoon face graffiti peeks from a concrete bridge pier above a river, with tall green grass in the foreground and trees on the far bank.

Mr Chad - Avonmouth Bridge, Pill

A curved tree trunk arches over a mossy stone wall in a dense green woodland.

Wall and Curved Branch, Leigh Woods

People relax on a riverside stone wall beneath colourful bunting, with white festival tents and trees behind them on a sunny day.

The Harbourside Festival, Bristol

Rows of terraced Georgian houses on a wooded hillside, bathed in warm golden late-afternoon light.

View over Cliftonwood and The Paragon

Aerial view of a city with terraced buildings, a tree-lined park and a tall stone tower rising above the trees under a pale sky.

Cabot Tower and South Bristol

Foggy urban scene: long-exposure light trails on a dual carriageway and flyover, terraced houses left and bare trees right.

Hotwells Traffic Flow #1

A vibrant street mural of a giant squirrel painted across a brick wall, its flowing orange fur framing a window.

Squirrel Streetart on The Old Bookshop, Bedminster

Stone head sculpture resting on grass among autumn leaves, set in a park with large trees and a pale cloudy sky.

Ashton Court Sculpture

Tall concrete tower block rising above a grassy park with trees and a lamppost beneath a clear blue sky.

A colourful graffiti-covered caravan parked by a bus shelter beside a car wash under a bright blue sky.
