Grassholm, Island of Gannets…

Having lived here most of my life I’ve pretty much seen and experienced everything this part of Wales has to offer, that is all except for one place. A place I’ve only ever seen through binoculars from afar, a place that is literally out on it’s own, this place is called Grassholm Island. One of [...]

Milky Way ~ Freshwater West War Memorial…

Following on from last years Milky Way shots found here > Milky Way ~ Elegug Stacks & here > Milky Way ~ Fresh West Seaweed Hut I tried something new. Here we have the War Memorial at Freshwater West. Again using Stellarium, made sure I would be shooting the right direction and time to capture [...]

It’s a been a few months in the making [...]

Coetan Arthur…

Milky Way ~ Freshwater West Hut…

Another attempt at the Milky Way, this time facing west…
