9/52 for the group 2026 Weekly Alphabet Challenge

This week's theme was: I is for Images

I took this photo early in the week before reading the instructions on the sharing thread. What we were supposed to do was take a photo of photos that we've printed, either recently or in the past.

However, I've been taking digital photos for 25 years and don't print any of them. Back when I was shooting film, it was 35mm colour slides. I do have some not very good snapshots from the time I only had a cheap point-and-shoot film camera, but a lot of those are of family and I don't post photos of family online as a rule.

I initially thought that I wouldn't post the photo I'd taken for the theme to the Flickr group, but then I saw that some of the others had done something similar to what I'd done. I therefore did post it and hope that my interpretation of the theme is OK. Of course for here, if doesn't matter if I go off piste occasionally. :-)

There are a few shops under the arches, but the mural indicates that there is a small concert venue up above.

While I was wandering around town looking for images, I also snapped these two. They're all phone photos because I was walking to the Co-op and wasn't going to take a camera with me.

The information board with the map and images showing places associated with the wool trade.

This is the Plaid Cymru office with photos of the two local MPs. One is the MP in Westminster, the other is the Senedd (Welsh parliament) member. Up here in Gwynedd, we are a Plaid Cymru stronghold. However Plaid are doing better in the south these days. If the Labour vote collapses down there, I hope people will vote Plaid or Green and not switch to Reform.
