Welsh Wanderings

   
   We recently had another trip to our regular haunts in North West Wales.  Over the years this part of the country has featured in a lot of our photography work, and whilst we were not doing any specific projects this time, the good weather gave us an opportunity to get out and about and just do some general photography work.
 
First stop was a National Trust property we'd never visited before, a little house at the end of a B road to nowhere called Plas yn Rhiw http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/plas-yn-rhiw/visitor-information/.  Very nice house, lovely gardens, superb view.  Having not done much in the way of garden photography this year (what with most places being under three feet of snow for much of the year) we just had a bit of fun snapping away at the wildlife and gardens.




Then onto some railway photography on the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland.  Been some time since we've managed to do any train pictures, so it was nice to get out and do a proper explore on some line side locations from a new path they've opened in the last year (and which bizarrely nobody ever seems to use).  Some nice line side spots away from the crowds.  Also some shots in the Glaslyn Pass (one of Ben's favourite spots for both landscape and train photography), but a bit more difficult to get pics without the crowds.
