A view from Betws Mountain looking North East towards the Black Mountain

I've processed this image with a Pictorialist mindset: in particular, using symbolic subject matter (a bucolic landscape) to create a painterly, expressive image that evokes emotion - hiraeth (in the context of Wales or Welsh culture a deep longing for something, especially one's home) - and atmosphere.

 

It is in reality quite ironic, as I grew up near here and when I go back I get the opposite of hiraeth: I just want to run away.
