After a busy couple of weeks I decided it was time for a bit of a break. There's been lots of dyeing, lots of behind the scenes admin, and it was time to go and breath some fresh air. It's tempting to say this landscape is wild, but its not. That funny lump in the middle of the grass is a conifer seedling that's escaped being eaten by the sheep. The conifer plantation is just over the hill, and is very much a man made addition to the landscape. Then there are the sheep, the hillsides round here have been shaped by generations of grazing, and even at such low stocking densities they have an impact. This is looking out at The Rhinogydd, and in the far distance we could just spot Snowdon. We were only out for the morning, and you can see the weather front we were aiming to avoid rolling in from the coast. The air up here is incredibly clean, we're a long way away from any major cities and roads, so the lichen covers the walls and trees. The dogs love these hilly walks, and enjoy bounding through the long grass, tussocks, and marsh far more than their humans. Gwen surveyed all she could see... and then spent the afternoon pinning me to the sofa while she slept off her exertions!

I love to go in hill stations with my friends and have great time by capturing photographs. I am learning photography so your pictures shared in the title "up in the hills" sounds great. You are presenting clouds and weeds in the hills. Comments are closed.
