Cardiff After Dark
|
Weekend night scenes in the city centre
of Cardiff, a town as any other UK town.
St Mary street is one of the main streets of central Cardiff, the capital city of Wales. There is a large cluster of clubs and pubs located on the street and sooner or later most party goers end up there. The street is closed for cars on Saturday nights and becomes the main scene of the city night life, fuelled by alcohol and emotions. Everything takes place in public - from drinking, fighting, kissing to crying and sleeping. Supermen chat up Playboy Bunnies, somebody lies on the pavement taking a nap, the hungry ones finish their portions of chips and the policemen stop another argument or fight. Nobody seems to worry about tomorrow, what matters is here and now. Then another week at work, until the next weekend.
This is a random collection of photos taken between 2005 and 2011 in Cardiff on weekend nights.
A small edited set can be seen on my website: cargocollective.com/maciejdakowicz#14236 65/Cardiff-After-...
14.04.2010 - this set has been renamed from "Cardiff at Night" to "Cardiff after Dark", after hearing this name on the BBC radio today.
