Llanberis Slate Quarry - Storm over Snowdon

This simple looking image is the result of lots of hard work – it’s crafted from a bunch of images joined up together – the original picture is now massive would fill a wall without looking at all nasty. I really like it a lot. This might be because of the effort involved in building it and the knowledge this has so much potential to print really big. I am hoping I just like it because its full of drama and reminds me of classical biblical paintings – only time and some expensive printing will tell...

Llanberis Slate Quarry

I had only walked through the slate quarry at Llanberis once a few years back. That was a purposeful group march to access the peaks above the quarry. I remember feeling then that the ghosts of the past seemed to linger in the abandoned workers buildings and made a point to get back there with more time. Years later, on the edge of a storm and alone, this visit felt like wandering through a wonderful and abandoned gothic film set.
