I stand alone...


I stand alone....Church Street, Dolwyddelan, Wales.
After getting totally soaked to the core exploring all the wrong routes up towards Dolwyddelan Castle we decided to look at and old chapel in Dolwyddelan. It is well worth a look, gravestones hundreds of years old, trees probably older with holes big enough to hide inside and an old shed at one end with more grass on the roof that the local rugby pitch.
As we were leaving this man passed by said hello and continued a little further, i quickly changed my lens to my 85mm and shot this image as he paused. The look on his face was as if he was contemplating continuing? looking towards the local shop at the end of the street and back towards were he had walked from at the other end of the lane.
There was something special about that moment that made this shot for me.

Fairy....


The Fairy at Fairy Glen...
I found this little Fairy hidden under the foliage of a tree at the base of Fairy Glen near Betws-y-Coed in Wales.
Wile Jon and Howie were busy taking shots of the torrent river i was sat catching my breath from the hike with all my camera gear, camera in one hand sandwich in the other i spotted something at the base of the tree, turns out it was this little fairy hidden by leaves and branches.I had to use flash to capture the shot as it was really dark at the base of the cliff edge. I wonder how many people visit this amazing place and have walked right past this?
