10 Glorious Shots of Bristol

These awesome shots of Bristol will brighten up your day

One of our favourite Bristol Instagram accounts – @Chris.Lawton takes shots of Bristol that completely captures its essence. We caught up with him to have a look at some of his favourite Bristol photos.

1. On the Bridge

I had to quickly take this while stood in the middle of the road. When the security guard came out of his hut and started walking towards me I thought he was going to say something but instead he started taking pictures too!

2. Think Local

After a fantastic summers afternoon spent sampling local cider with friends, this sunset on the famous Stokes Croft was a perfect end to the day.

3. Dark and Stormy

I’m a big fan of the Harbourside and to be able to go and stand on the deck of such an iconic ship is an added bonus, even if the weather makes it feel like we’re at sea!

4. Park Life

Everyone loves summer in Bristol and we’re fortunate to have such an abundance of parks to go and visit. On this occasion it was frisbee at Clifton Down as the sun set.

5. Waxing Crescent

Wandering around Clifton one afternoon I looked up and and the alignment of the clouds with Royal York Crescent was uncanny.

6. Round the Twist

Outside the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children, I took this through a fisheye lens to play on the already curved sculpture.

7. Good Times

From balloons to boats, the best thing about living in Bristol is that there’s always something going on. This one was from Love Saves the Day in Castle Park.

8. Top of the Rock

Some of the hills in Bristol can take it out of you, but if you reach the top then you’re likely to be rewarded with some pretty great views! This was taken looking over the city centre from Park Row.

9. A Path of Wander

The birdcage walk is an excellent photo spot, come back here in each season and you’ll get a completely different shot.

10. Up

The first summer in my flat I found out that balloons fly directly past my living room window. It was a pleasant surprise!
