These last two of the Bristol coat of arms, as found on the Plimsoll Swing Bridge, are actually the first two of the set to be taken. They belong to the previous roll of film, an expired roll of Agfa Vista. The expired film had a distinct green cast, which I could have kept, for artistic reasons (after all, that's the point of using expired film)... but really, fixing them in Photoshop made them look a lot less sickly.
