  • St Cybi’s Holy Well, Rhoscolyn, Holy Island, Anglesey.
    GD002009.jpg
  • A blustery cold fresh breeze was still blowing in from the North-West and despite the relative calm on the East coast, large powerful waves were still crashing up the West coast cliffs near Rhoscolyn. The clouds scudded by rapidly and sea spray doused your face and filled your breath, and it was, breath-taking.

  • The crumbly limestone rock arch of Bwa Gwyn, Rhoscolyn Head, Anglesey.

  • Remnants from a limestone quarring industry at this point at Rhoscolyn Head. This millstone is perched on the top of the huge white limestome sea arch of Bwa Gwyn.

  • A solitary gaff rigged  one-design day-boat on a calm and deserted Irish Sea on a sunny Spring afternoon. See from the rocky limestone cliffs at Rhoscolyn Head, Holy Island, West Anglesey.

  • On wild, rugged coast around North West Anglesey, each beautiful headland seems to have found itself the site for huge houses or caravan parks. Whilst the views 'from' the properties must be spectacular, the views of the properties is the opposite.

  • Amazingly, these incredible red cliffs that look so loose and friable, are actually well known for rock climbing. Tenuous, pumpy, scary and overhanging climbs meander up this battle-zone between land and sea. The gigantic broken block in the small cove says it all. After many years of dreaming about it, I have recently climbed some actual routes on these incredible sea cliffs, and from the zawn below the cliff faces are even more imposing!

  • I love it when after leaving home which is covered by cold grey sky, I find myself half an hour later standing on a cliff top with sunshine warming my face. As the afternoon sunshine dropped lower in the sky, it broke below blankets of heavy cloud and blasted the sea and cliffs with intense light, illuminating rock pools and sharpening blades of rock. Getting to the sea has always meant escape to me, a chance of adventure and journey. Looking out towards a sunlit horizon means so much to me, especially hope.

  • Explosion after explosion of huge waves battering the West Anglesey coast in early October. Rhoscolyn Beacon on the horizon disappeared and re-appeared after each strike on the reef. The light was so soft and gentle but the sea created a dynamic and noisy contrast.

  • Such beautiful sunlight but quite an unnerving position down there in the gully. The waves appeared regular but every now and then rigue waves appeared, crashing over the large boulders in front of me and blasting spray over me and the camera.<br />
<br />
I’ve visited this arch many times over the years but after hearing of the recent collapse of the Azure Window arch in Gozo, Malta, I felt the urge to revisit our own wonderful coastal feature here at Bwa Gwyn.

  • This was taken during a two hour outing to Anglesey's west coast one Sunday afternoon during serious gales & stormy weather. The seas were huge for Anglesey & were breaking over the cliffs, the strong winds sending plumes of spray into the air & dousing the land with salty foam. As the sun dropped in the sky, the light became more & more intense until it created a theatrical floodlight, backlighting the spray from the crashing waves. The wind was blowing so hard I had to almost sit on the tripod to keep it steady & the lens needed wiping down every few seconds. It was fantastic to be alone in these conditions on the cliff top because it generated an enormous sense of space & vulnerability whilst perched there. At this time of year, the light diminishes rapidly when the sun sets so I had to tread carefully over the wet cliff tops to get back to the van. It was an invigorating evening.

  • After a day of unpredictable, varied weather, I left home in cloud and reached the west coast in beautiful sunshine. Unlike of late, there was no last minute cloud bank to ruin the sunset, just a blazing ball of fire in the cool, evening, spring sky.  Rarely for May, apart from a very young video crew filming a lass on the beach, the shore was completely deserted. Wonderful, weird, worrying times many of us are facing.

  • Subtle moments of brighter light at sunset after a wet, rainy day at Silver Bay, Anglesey. The advancing tide created a powerful backwash of waves.

  • Just the most incredibly tranquil scene where the Cymyran Strait passes through the tiny village of Four Mile Bridge.<br />
<br />
The colourful handful of mooring buoys looked as if they were floating in the sky, to be navigated by aircraft. <br />
<br />
I've literally never seen it this mirror-calm before, and I was SO awed by it that I screeched to a halt on the far side of the bridge and came back to photograph this amazing view. I got chatting to Janet, a retired surgical nurse who lives just a few hundred feet away from this, as she also stood mesmerised by the view. She said she'd been living there for many years and like me, had never seen it just SO perfectly calm, where usually the movement of the tide at least creates some currents and ripples.

  • A short post-work walk on Rhosneigr beach. It was dull, cold and dreary and we started to head back to the van, when from beneath a bak of cloud a huge ball of sun stated to show through the vapour and changed the colour of the scene. Jani was so cold she left my lying on the cold shingle, hand-holding my telephoto lens to record the journey of the sun until it faded into thick fog.<br />
<br />
I always carry my mega heavyweight camera bag everywhere, which has taken a huge toll on my body, but this is why - out of nowhere something amazing just happens, and I'd be deeply frustrated if I didn't have my kit with me to record it.
