With summer drawing to a close, time to start updating the blog again; we've been busy with actually taking a lot of photos, mainly during repeated visits to Wales. We'll be posting the various pics over coming days, so first, some 'general' shots which aren't from any specific sets or projects, all taken around Wales...
The top-two images were taken on a nice, but very windy day, near Porth Dinlaen, but the shot of the kite above is rather more indicative of how the weather was during the majority of the summer...
Llanberis provided a nice location for taking some pics, or would have done had the weather not been so poor... a mix of dramatic landscape, ancient castle, derelict slate quarries, a superb museum dedicated to same, and a large lake. Definitely have to return here in the future.
Above, a nice dramatic waterfall above Tanygrisau, another location to return to in better weather (we had to run to the car after taking this shot, as a violent and very sudden downpour visibly swept down the valley towards us, and wouldn't stop).
Another location which didn't quite provide as many photos as hoped (due to the poor weather) was Penrhyn Castle, which is actually a 'fake' castle built by the owner of the large Penrhyn Slate Quarries nearby, and now owned by the National Trust.
Finally a few landscape shots, just because we don't tend to take this sort of pic any more, but every now and again we feel inspired to get some nice photos if the location is right (in these cases, the Cob at Porthmadog for the butterfly, and Tan Y Bwlch for the other two shots).
Coming next, either a specific project/set from Wales, or perhaps an update on the "Home is..." project, the exhibition of which is imminent...
