There is no better place to find yourself on a gorgeous Spring/Summer evening than wondering the cliffs of Gower. Three Cliffs Bay is no exception. Today I grabbed the opportunity to get out with my camera whilst walking Lucy (my beagle) around the cliffs. There were quite a few walkers and golfers along the cliff [...]
On arriving home from a day out I could see the potentially amazing sunset about to take place. As soon as we pulled up to the house I ran to grab my camera and tripod. I drove to the closest possible area that would allow me to catch the rapidly setting sun. Unfortunately, as predicted, [...]
I am sorry that I have been on the quiet side over the past month or so, however I hope that after seeing the collection below you will agree that it has been worth the wait. Let me explain… This weekend I had the pleasure of watching my younger sister marry her best friend [...]
It might be that you’re not really bothered, that you don’t care or that you genuinely aren’t aware but I wanted to show people what goes on in a place awarded ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’. I walk passed this nearly every day, sometimes I forget it’s there, other times I can’t believe what has [...]
This weekend I had the great pleasure of visiting the National Botanic Garden of Wales with a good friend of mine, Angela. This place is an excellent example on how to be self sufficient and have a wonderful collection of both native and foreign plants. I felt it necessary to create this post so that periodically [...]
Three Cliffs Bay and nearby Pobbles beach are unquestionably my favourite places in the world. I make every effort to stop here whenever I can. There are so many varying walks surrounding these areas and so many viewpoints. It is such a peaceful area and, in my view, gorgeous no matter what time of year [...]
Monday evening was beautifully quiet along the south of Gower’s coastal path. Sam, Lucy and I walked from Pwll Du to Brandy Cove. It was a stunning evening and I was surprised at how much wildlife we encountered. The wild primroses were vast, the blossoms were in full bloom and we even saw a massive [...]
Who can deny Spring? It is probably one of the most welcoming seasons of all. Buds, lambs, longer days, signs of sunshine and warm weather … the list goes on. This year I have been especially more aware of the weather and the seasons. I have concretely decided that Spring is my favourite season of [...]
Yesterday I had the pleasure of walking down to Mewslade having been kindly invited by Dan Santillo. The tide was higher than expected but that didn’t cause me too much concern as I’d been wanting to take a shot off the top of the cliff for a while. High tide was a perfect opportunity. [...]
I’ve been able to find more time this week to look at the images taken from the sunrise on Sunday 5th February 2012. To recap Dan Santillo kindly invited me to join him for sunrise on Sunday morning. When I arrived I realised I’d gone to the wrong place and saw Dan on the hill behind [...]
Pwll Du Pwll Du is yet another hidden treasure located within the Gower peninsula. As long as you are able and don’t mind a steep walk, Pwll Du is definitely a place I recommend you visit. My usual route is from the village of Bishopston, walking down Pwll Du Lane using the wide track as [...]
The most frequent beaches visited by myself have to be Three Cliffs Bay and Pobbles. They are my most favourite haunts and probably will be for the rest of my life. Pobbles is where I used to spend most of my summer outside of school hours and I was always accompanied by lots of [...]
On Saturday 30th July 2011 I attended the last ever teaching class by Neil Collier (from Neil Collier Photography). The class took their final outdoor trip to Whiteford Sands and here we found one of the very last remaining cast iron lighthouses. The sky was a little hazy and the tide was not in [...]
Yesterday Sam and I took Lucy down to Rhossili. The beach was a little hazy and very warm. There were plenty of opportunist gulls, lots of families gathered, children and dogs played happily amongst themselves and the sea embraced it all. I should perhaps mention that the walk back up to the car was [...]
Just a quick post to share with you the lovely Lucy. You might not be aware but our Lucy has been a little naughty of late. Despite extra long walks, she has been reluctant to settle down in the evening and made it her goal to cause as much trouble as possible. However, from [...]
