Pentre-Ifan
Pentre Ifan is a Neolithic burial chamber (approx 5k years old). It has a 5m (16' 6")‘capstone’ appearing to be precariously balanced on three ‘uprights’.
On a gloomy day it carries a really heavy atmosphere pointing back to an uncertain past raising darkquestions best left unuttered.
As can be seen in the picture it was a cloudy afternoon with mist on the surrounding hills. I wanted to convey the atmosphere of the place (there are plenty of nice sunny tourist pictures) so adopted a Film Noir style.
