Bristol's harbourside and M-Shed

Old cargo cranes on the harbourside outside M-Shed

M and I recently made our first visit to Bristol's new-ish museum of all things local, M-Shed to see the Martin Parr exhibition. I'm a huge Parr fan - I find many of his images excruciating and hilarious at the same time and, sure enough, this collection (in his adopted home city) didn't disappoint.

M-Shed has been beautifully redeveloped from the old Industrial Museum and a nice little touch is allowing you out on the top floor balcony to take in the views of Bristol's floating harbour. Before I lived here I'd never heard of a floating harbour - apparently it means the water level is always constant and isn't affected by the tides. I couldn't resist taking a few shots from the balcony - these were shot on an iPhone and pimped out using the superb Camera+ app.
