For centuries since the Bronze Age feral goats have roamed the Welsh mountains of Eryri. These spectacular goats naturally thrive on the sparse ground of mountain slopes and thin soils. A small population habituates the abandoned slate quarries of Dinorwig where shelter in winter months assures survival. They feed on the pioneer weeds growing on exiguous rock ledges in the confines of the quarries. Careful management of numbers is undertaken annually, in local districts.
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.
