The ruin of Maes Meddygon stands on the slopes of Moel Rhiwen, between Rhiwlas and Deiniolen. It consisted of one large room with a great chimney and fireplace, one bedroom and a crog loft. It was once home to Dafydd and Catrin Jones and their children. They were the last tenants to live here until they moved out in 1903. Since then trees, mosses, ferns, fungi, lichens, invertebrates and birds have made their homes in these stones.
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.
