Church Grove

Tourist at Tintern Abbey As I was wandering around and about the abbey taking photos this retired couple pulled their car onto the pavement and the wife climbed out and took a few digital photos of the ruins, the husband rummaged in a camera case in the boot and took a few photos with his digital SLR then he climbed back into the car and they went. Tintern done in maybe two minutes. "What is this life, if full of care, we have no time to stand and stare?"...

On the Wye Valley Walk in April It's early April above the Lower Wye Valley and these woodlands and fields are just about to transform with Spring. To catch them in the moments before that happens is special.

The Wye Valley Walk in Black Cliff Wood The Wye Valley Walk here ascends an Iron Age hillfort on the northern edge of Black Cliff wood. Mossy boulders lie in jumbles and slanting saplings compete for sunlight. The wood is humid and clammy, the steep path muddy and slippery. It is easy to imagine the Silures shock at the coming of the Romans to this area and how things would never be the same again.
