  • "Strong wind blows the Marram grass on large sand dunes at Aberffraw, West Anglesey. The huge and private Bodorgan Estate can be seen to the left, and the mountains of Eryri and the Llyn Peninsula can be seen in the distance. White horses race to the shoreline and the gale whips up sea spray from the breaking manes”

  • When you see the lush woodland remaining in tiny little patches of Ynys Môn you realise just how lush this country was before man cultivated it for housing & crops. Indeed look to the barren mountains behind & remember most of them would have been forested too. In this little clearing lies a scene that hints back to times that once were, and in so many ways I wish they still existed.

  • Perhaps the quietest area of Anglesey, being acres and acres of privated land, mostly farmed by tenant farmers. The Bodorgan Estate is understandably a perfect, private location for the royal couple Prince William & Kate after their marriage, with spectacular views of the Snowdonia mountains and a short helicopter taxi ride to his work at RAF Valley.

  • A large and constant river flows from open farmland on Anglesey, past Aberffraw village and out to the sea at the expansive and sandy Aberffraw beach. The wind blowing up the beach creates small standing waves in the river as it rushes against the wind.

  • In the same way as many people enjoy jumping and playing in the waves, I also see the waves as playing their own game, dancing in a regular rhythm across the shoreline and crashing against the cliffs. Waves are consistent and have a pattern but each individual wave is subtly different, with thousands of sparks of water shooting off unpredictably. As a metaphor for mankind, we generally dance to the same tune, but as individuals we may fly off in many different directions. Each separate journey makes the main wave look unique and exciting, but almost inevitably, we finally rejoin the main body of water, perhaps just in a slightly different place!

  • An outcrop of headland just onto the North end of the vast sandy Aberffraw beach. The sunset reflects off large tidal pools left on the main beach. The mountains of the Llyn Peninsula can just be made out on the horizon.

  • As the tide recedes  the water in the sand bank drains away carving temporary and unusual channels in the sand bank, at right angles to the direction of the river. The mountains of Eryri can be seen in the distance.

  • Yes another dreary evening here on Anglesey, heck we've not seen much sun at all this summer have we! We'd sat on a little beach hoping for any glimmer of sunshine and finally gave up. On the way past the causeway though, the gentlest beams of sunshine squeezed through the depressing blanket of cloud and the warm, murky sea adopted a beautiful silvery skin, slowly undulating over slow waves.

  • When the crowds have gone and the leagues of dog walkers have departed for tea, the beach releases its true magic. I’ve always been fascinated by the cleansing effect of an incoming tide. I love watching the mess of footprints disappear as a new virgin floor of sand smoothes its way up the beach in front of my eyes. It’s even better when evening pulls a dark blanket of silence over the noise pollution of the day.<br />

I crouched almost at sand level, the tripod legs repeatedly covered by salty water and I enabled the fast motion of the rapid tide to move everything in the image other than the ancient rocks themselves. I walked back across the huge beach and up along the deep river in darkness. True harmony.

  • Low tide at the expansive Aberffraw beach on the West Anglesey coast. This wide flat beach seems to hold the sea water and the sands often remain wet long after the tide has retreated. We are looking towards Caernarfon Bay, and the mountains of the Llyn Peninsula can be seen in the far distance.

Second day of a phenomenal temperature inversion in a row. This is right at the edge of the fog bank, before the coast, so the sun was able to pierce the thick fog over Aberffraw and the Irish Sea

  • Just a small part of the huge private estate - with little public access, which is the current residence of Prince William and the lovely Kate. I won't be saying where there is so don't ask! US Anglesonians are quite protective of the quiet supportive couple ! :-) <br />
<br />
The nice thing is, even when the couple leave, the place will still remain beautifully rural, and simply beautiful!
