  • Interior of Eglwys Cwyfan Church, Porth Cwyfan, Anglesey

  • Lush Spring flowers grow amongst fresh new grass on the tiny island supporting the small church of Eglwys Cwyfan, near Aberffraw, Anglesey, North Wales. Services are still held in this church but are tide dependent.

Field drainage water pours out through a water channel into the Irish Sea here at Porth Cwyfan. The 13th Century, Eglwys Cwyfan (St Cwyfan's Church), not far from the small village of Aberffraw on Anglesey's West coast, at one time stood on the mainland coast but over the years, the sea has eroded the surrounding land leaving it stranded on it's own little island. Services are still occasionally held here but times are tide dependent.

  • I arrived in thick sea fog, cold, damp, dark and I could hardly see Eglwys Cwyfan, the tiny medieval church sitting on the tiny islet of Cribinau. I walked along the shore, listening to the sound of the surf on the reef beyond, and I saw small groups of Oystercatcher, Plover and Turnstones huddled together at the water’s edge. When I arrived at the rock causeway that at low tide allows access, the fog temporarily parted and sunshine briefly poured over the landscape, such a joyous revelation just when I needed it.<br />
<br />
I walked over to the church and enjoyed the views from the far side, and as I crossed back to the beach and turned around, black fog was rolling in over the Irish Sea and with it, rain. I had to jog back to the van as I had no raincoat, just my down jacket. When I reached the van, the church had disappeared.

  • Sea Pink (Thrift) glows in the evening sunlight at the edge of the churchyard of the 13th Century, Anglican, Eglwys Cwyfan (St Cwyfan's Church), not far from the small village of Aberffraw on Anglesey's West coast, at one time stood on the mainland coast but over the years, the sea has eroded the surrounding land leaving it stranded on it's own little island. Services are still occasionally held here but times are tide dependent.

  • After a long, scrubland, gorse and heather laden, leg-scratched cliff walk, this view was worth it all. Strange that this primitive little church on a delicate strip of ground, that was once solid  land, now faces an uncertain future, mostly because of rising sea levels and the relentless erosive power of the sea.

  • Lying on warm grass under clear blue skies you'd think it was Summer, but with cold North Easterlies blowing across the exposed island it felt anything but.

  • On the eve of another severe lockdown, with my head closing in and the first irregular heartbeats in many months beating in my chest, I raced out to the coast for last minute medication. Since I heard about this mis-targeted lockdown, I’ve been telling myself “it’s just two weeks, it’s just two weeks, you can do it” but I’ve been in panic mode all day. Almost without fail after work, for years, I’ve always had a deep need to escape to the hills or the coast, it’s almost like an addiction because it makes me feel so good, so alive, that there’s a reason I’m on this earth.<br />
.<br />
I think about the little city-men in suits, who seem oblivious to the mental health benefits of people being allowed to continue to get into nature, but who instead blanket legislate without thought about the unnecessary damage they are creating to well-being. Walking on a lonely beach or cliff-top harms no-one. Even at its busiest, Llanddwyn is massive with so much space to avoid others. Instead we are forced to walk the town paths like hamsters on a wheel with 20,000 other trapped souls. Why are they hitting everyone with such severe restrictions, instead of targeting those people & activities that really spread the killer disease?<br />
.<br />
I’m still telling myself that it’s just two weeks and my lovely ITU lady who see the disease at its worst, also tries to calm me down about lockdowns! What an amazing angel, dealing with physically ill patients and a mentally wobbly partner !

  • That time of year when the days are short and the weather is generally dreary, but this evening, after hours of rain and cloud, an orange glow burned on the horizon.  I arrived at the coast just minutes before the sun went down, but in that brief window I was able to capture a few gorgeous frames of sunset before a cold dusk moved across and the light was extinquished.  I'm savouring these moments of hope and positivity.

  • One of a very short series of images taken whilst I was being filmed being interviewed by Jamie Owen for a BBC Wales documentary series on Welsh Landscape. It was difficult trying to talk and shoot at the same time but the light was so amazing that I couldn't help shooting these four of five frames for real. They have subsequently been filmed for inclusion within the program!

  • Something is in the air, which means I may be visiting this spiritual location more often. This evening was just a stroll to collect my thoughts about what may be. The conditions changed from a burning narrow sunset to cool blues and finally bitter rain.
