Nant Maes Mared

Footpath to Tryfan No, not Tryfan the mountain in North Wales, this Tryfan is a small farmhouse I was delivering roof trusses to. My job takes me to some lovely places, especially noticeable after spending fifteen years delivering stuff to surly blokes on industrial estates in the arse end of the West Midlands. Taken on film with an elderly Agfa rangefinder.
