Dew drops on grass and spiders webs in the early morning – an irresistible subject for photography.
Soon after taking photos of the dew on grass, I was presented on my walk with a spider web sporting the same phenomenon,Continue reading

Lonely Atmosphere
The sun was trying hard on my walk this week, to lift, or at least thin the thick mist that surrounded me and obscured so many details of the landscape. The foreboding atmosphere of the holloway footpath in yesterday’s post is repeated here with this naked tree at the edge of a field.
But as becomes apparent in the photos below, the mist is also influenced by a breeze and is therefore constantly moving. Continue reading

I processed the second shot in monochrome because it seemed to better represent the wildness of the place as I perceived it in the worsening weather.
Vague Vista
As I climbed above the valley floor along a moss-lined lane, it would have been good to get a better view of the distant mountains around Blaenau Ffestiniog in North Wales. Alas, on a day such as this, that was never going to be possible.
Arrivals from the Blackness
Before climbing to a higher position on my walk this week in the Lledr Valley in North wales, I called into Pont-y-Pant station. This was prompted by the shot below and a sense of wonder at the effort and engineering that is required to create a tunnel through such solid material.
