I stayed local at the weekend looking for subjects for my Sacred Spaces and Silent Stories project. I decided to take a photo of the The Trawsfynydd War Memorial, a granite wheel cross overlooking the lake and mountains at Cefn Gwyn, commemorates 33 First World War and 4 Second World War casualties, including Welsh poet Ellis Evans (Hedd Wyn). Originally unveiled in 1921 and relocated in 1933, it bears the dedications: “You brave and comely young men were drawn into that fiery breach to restore freedom” and “For the second time hostilities insisted that our young men should be sacrificed for a cause.” In between the rain the light just made an appearance.
Llech Idris. According to local legend, the stone was thrown from the summit of Cader Idris by the mythical figure Idris Gawr.
It's been a while.
Waiting for the overflow
The challenge behind the photos.

The little details in nature make me smile.
I've said before, one of the most rewarding things is to get a photo home and find some little critter who has 'photo bombed' my scene.
