‘Spirit of Ynyslas’

The Lost Kingdom of Cantre’r Gwaelod

 

‘Spirit of Ynyslas’ questions our existence, the ephemeral nature of our lives. The 5000 year old submerged forest, exposed by the winter storms which battered the shores of Cardigan Bay, tells of the lost Kingdom of Cantre’r Gwaelod, a kingdom which disappeared in an instant, flooded by the seas of an incoming storm. Yet the forest remains, shrouded by time beneath the sands of Ynyslas, revealed for just an instant, to tell its tale and awaken the imaginings of our minds.

The Haven at Night

Nature, changed through time by man and the elements, holds a fascination for me that goes way beyond the conflict between man and the environment; its ability to endure is formidable; its spirit will always shine through, presenting us with moments of breathtaking beauty.”

 The Tides of Time – Milford Haven Waters

The Tides of Time

The passing of time has brought great changes to our landscapes. My thoughts on seeing the close proximity of  the Napoleonic Fort, Milford Haven’s LNG Jetty  and Pembrokeshire Coasts National Park, made me harshly aware of man’s historical and continuing interference.

This image is a double exposure, taken in camera, from the waters of the Haven.
