There were several species of spider around the gravestones in Arnos Grove Cemetery - this Jumping Spider (Heliophanus spp member of the Sun jumping spiders) was the most confiding with its Springtail prey (Collembolid).

Bristol 2. Amphitheatre and Millennium Square
I finished my walk around Bristol at the Amphitheatre (built in 1993 as Lloyds Bank HQ) and the Millennium Square area with its fountains and mirrored sphere. Good to see all types of transport have been thought about when designing the roads and pavements.

Bristol Walk 1
I had a spare afternoon in Bristol and went for a walk around the city centre - last visited 2012 when it was pouring with rain! Very little has changed in terms of buildings but, like many cities, the area is very much dominated by tourist trade now with lots of eating places and tourist attractions. I was using a fixed 23mm lens (X100V) so some images are stitched panoramas (horizontally or vertically) while the last image is enlarged to test the quality of the original.

Clifton Bridge
We watched this abseiler going down the side of the Clifton Gorge as a Peregrine watched him and us from the tower of the bridge. Later we saw the Peregrine further down the Gorge.

Very Wet Bristol
We had a couple of hours to look round Bristol in the wind and rain. Reflections were the order of the day. Images were taken with the Canon G12 so not great quality as it is poor at focusing in low light and the noise is considerable at ISO 800 and above. Not the ideal low-light and night photography camera!
