Newport Wave At Night

I started the night shift at 10pm yesterday evening and eventually finished at 8am this morning. It was a busy shift but I enjoyed it. The sky was devoid of stars and even the moon wasn't brilliant.

The blip photo I like best if of the The Steel Wave on Newport City's Riverside. To the left is the market building and to the right is the 'Old Green' crossing which has the castle next to it.

The 'Steel Wave' is on the riverbank at a place once known as Town Reach where commercial and passenger wharves were thriving from the early 1800s. It is a sculpture  by Peter Fink. It reflects Newport's history of steel manufacturing and the foundation of the town on the banks of the rivers Usk. Erected in 1990, the sculpture was made using 50 tons of sheet steel from Llanwern Steelworks and stands 14 metres high x 35 metres long."

Luckily for me, a pedal cyclist went past as I was taking a photograph at 3.30am, which adds a bit to the composition.
