Stand-off at Atlantic Wharf
The coot on the right had, about 15 seconds previously, attacked one of the chicks of the pair on the left. The chick, which had strayed a bit too far for safety, had swiftly been rescued by one of the parents. The attacker remained for some minutes in the vicinity of the other pair's nest, making occasional aggressive moves towards the nest and the nearby chicks, moves which were immediately challenged by the parents. It then returned to the vicinity of its own nest, about 40 yards away.

"Installation", Atlantic Wharf, Cardiff
The "installation", constructed from empty and rusting supermarket trolleys and placed in a disused dock, aptly symbolises the demise of Cardiff's trade in goods, now replaced by service industries etc.

Dockside crane, Atlantic Wharf
Built by Stothert & Pitt Ltd of Bath in 1933, this crane was put to various uses in various Cardiff docks. It is now a somewhat forlorn reminder of Cardiff's former maritime glory.
