I think these are among your best photos. All are fantastic!
Thank you, It was an astonishing day of riches!
These photos are very powerful, I just had the feeling of being there. This must be so good for your soul! Continued safe travels!
it certainly was, nature and the best of human culture combined in a single day are a recipe for calm
Beautiful evocative images-it makes me feel I’m there. Such beautiful places.
thanks!
Beautiful and interesting photos. I didn’t know of this cathedral. Lovely use of light conditions.
Its quite hidden, literally – it was built in a depression in the ground so it was hidden from the sea so as not to be a target for viking raiders
That’s really interesting to know. Thanks.
OMG, what a beautiful pictures. I wanna go there!!!!
you should!
fantastic shots! as always, the fog makes for dramatic landscape views. and the Cathedral is very impressive.
Thanks, very enjoyable contrasts, it’s easy to see why the area is such a focus for spirituality
That’s for sure! It looks very attractive!
Oh and those camping spots you find along the way are absolutely fantastic! 😉
What gorgeous coastline
special isn’t it
Oak Ceiling
incredible carving huh!
These photos are amazing! Love the angles in the Cathedral. I couldn’t stop admiring the details of such a beautiful place. I love the photo of “Entrance to the Great Hall of the Bishop’s Palace, St David’s, Pembrokeshire.” I think I would have stayed here just looking at this entrance. The “St David’s Cathedral from the Bishop’s Palace, Pembrokeshire,” photo was perfect with the cathedral framed perfectly. If I was thereI would have stayed there for hours and filled up my memory card. Thanks for sharing your beautiful photos. We don’t have beauty like what you have in the States.
Many thanks, It’s certainly a very inspiring location for photography, I did good job of filling up my cards! You have great beauty in the States too but the sense of ancient history is around every corner in the landscape here.
Stunning! I must go to Wales!
you won’t regret it 🙂
Love the juxtaposition of photos – hard lines of human constructions, versus the melting softness of the landscape.
Thanks Ruth – that’s how it felt that day – the morning spent admiring the cathedral and the rest of the day wandering through the mist thinking about what I’d seen earlier
Reblogged this on Geometry & Silence.
Your series of seascapes is gorgeous. I would love to see them printed on a monumental scale and exhibited all together.
Thank you – so would I!
