A rare feature of ice ‘pancakes’ forming in eddies in Nant Gwryd, Eryri, Wales. With sub-zero night temperatures under a clear sky, the river foam freezes and swirls in eddies. By day, temperatures rise slightly allowing more foam to accumulate, bump together and shape into pancakes with raised edges, before freezing again at night.
Landscape photography is my focus (sic) since retiring from a university career researching and teaching plant and environmental science. Photography combines my lifelong love of Britain's wild places with an understanding (I hope!) of how our diverse environments work and the processes within them, as well as the way light falls on them. Seeing - really seeing - what is around us is hard, and the challenge for me is to find formalist images whose structure and atmosphere are consonant with the nature of the subject.
