Trying to find something appropriate for St. Valentine's Day. Perhaps this, Lisvane and Llanishen Reservoirs sunset, Cardiff, South Wales, UK. Happy St. Valentine's Day.

Quiet day at the Llanishen and Lisvane Reservoirs, Cardiff, South Wales. Could be because of the low temperature and very windy conditions. 😲

Today's #photooftheday is something simple — a close up of a flower head. I've taken so many #PHOTOS like this, and they were never 'quite right'. But I find the symmetry of this one really pleasing #photographer #photography

It looks like someone's having an exhausting day and has dropped off to sleep.

I admit it; I can't walk past the memorial lighthouse to Captain Scott of the Antarctic at Roath Park Lake, Cardiff, South Wales,UK,without taking a photo. Today, dark clouds add to the drama.

Just finished writing a chapter, the birds are out, the sun is shining and the sky is blue. Actually blue.

Gwen John: Hardd a Hynod / Strange Beauties is open at National Museum Cardiff, and it’s beautiful.

I’ve been lucky enough to be involved in making some films on Gwen John’s life and her work. Here’s the first one.

Llandaff Cathedral, Cardiff. Founded in the 6th century, rebuilt in 1120, with significant restoration between 1840 and 1869. Its roof was destroyed during a German air raid in 1941, leading to major restoration. It remains a magnificent example of Norman and Gothic architecture.

A breathtaking carpet of snowdrops at Little Aston mill, near Bourton-on-the-Water, Cotswolds, Gloucestershire, UK.

Looking elegant with the sun shining on its Cotswolds stone roof, the church of St. Mary, Lower Slaughter, Gloucestershire, UK. Almost completely rebuilt in 1867, it hold 6 bells, and an early 13th century arcade of 4 bays, and a piscina of the same period.
