This is the photo I'm known for *over there*- Capel Rhiw in Blaenau Ffestiniog.
"I waited 18 months to photograph this scene, after spotting it in March last year and not having the right lens with me. Blaenau Ffestiniog on Sunday."

Stumbled onto Threads by mistake through Instagram, and see yet more middle aged, white male photographers are telling everyone what to think about photography. It's so boring. It's one of the reasons I try and have nothing to do with 'photography'

At midsummer, the witches of Zennor would light fires on top of the ancient burial chambers and in the rock stacks, until it seemed like the whole moor was ablaze. Zennor Quoit for #TombTuesday!

Today is the 100th birthday of Richard Burton!
And this house is his birthplace, in Pontrhydyfen. You'll know the viaduct behind him; he's crossing it with his father in the iconic 1950s photographs by Raymond Kleboe

We are so far through the looking glass that the man who tried to overthrow an election becomes president, the people who attacked the Capitol are turned into martyrs, & it's the BBC that gets punished - cheered on by the worst news outlets in the UK & the two most dishonest politicians of our age.
It’s not at all clear to me how the BBC can do any kind of serious journalism if its top two bosses can be forced to quit over such an obviously confected scandal. There is no substantive error here. How can the BBC report on Trump, or Farage, or anyone else, in these circumstances?

Glad that someone has finally taken responsibility for the appalling assault on democracy that was the Jan. 6 insurrection.
Slightly confused that it's the Director-General of the BBC, but what do I know?
