Swansea Marina is a fine place to explore on a sunny day, but does present problems in a panoramic photograph. Foreground objects are too close and in shade. I'm not entirely happy with this one, but I include it just to show that South Wales is not about coal mines and industrial dereliction. 

North Wales

The Harbour in Porthmadoc always attracts attention from tourists being, as it is, just at one end of the main street.

The town and castle of Conway seen from Deganwy, with brooding Snowdonia off to the left.

And now...for something completely different. This is Blaenau Ffestiniog in North Wales, a slate mining town that has fallen on hard times. It's high rainfall and slate roofs combine to give this picture an atmosphere of gloom.

I have recently received a picture showing how this site has been transformed and am happy to show it if you click here.

Criccieth, on the Lleyn peninsula is always good for some dramatic beach plus sea shots. The hills of mid Wales are in the background.

This beautiful reservoir is right in the middle of Wales, between Llanidloes and Staylittle. It's a favourite short cut of mine when I travel north along the A470. Llyn Clywedog, has many moods; I've seen it frozen, in bright sun, with snow all around and with layers of mist reflecting a winter sun.

We had a little snow earlier this year, so I was out into the Brecons to search out a few suitable viewpoints for panoramas. This from just below the Storey Arms.
