Llanrwst developed around the wool trade, and for a long time the price of wool for the whole of Britain was set here. The growth of the village in the 13th century was considerably aided by an edict by Edward I of England (who built Conwy Castle) prohibiting any Welshman from trading within 10 miles (16 km) of the town of Conwy. Llanrwst, located some 13 miles (21 km) from that town, was strategically placed to benefit from this.

Hydrangea (‘Ajisai’ in Japanese) is the most popular flowering plant that blooms in Japanese rainy season. Its original is Hydrangea macrophylla f. normalis (‘Gaku-ajisai’) native to Japan. Since it was introduced to Europe in the 18th century, a wide variety of cultivars have been developed and planted. In the photo is the full bloom of Hydrangea ‘Dance Party’, a beautiful modern cultivar bred by a Japanese nursery. Taken in my little garden.
Anthurium is a genus of about 1000 species of flowering plants, the largest genus of the arum family, Araceae. General common names include anthurium, tailflower, flamingo flower, and laceleaf. It's native to tropical America, from Mexico to northern Argentina and Uruguay. They are grown for their attractive flowering bracts which are popular with the cut flower trade. All parts of the plant, are poisonous. If ingested, may cause mild stomach disorders. Anthurium is a genus of herbs often growing as epiphytes on other plants. Some are terrestrial. The leaves are often clustered and are variable in shape. The inflorescence bears small flowers which are perfect, containing male and female structures. The flowers are contained in dense spirals on the spadix. The spadix is often elongated into a spike shape, but it can be globe-shaped or club-shaped. Beneath the spadix is the spathe, a type of bract. This is variable in shape, as well, but it is lance-shaped in many species. It may extend out flat or in a curve. Sometimes it covers the spadix like a hood. The fruits develop from the flowers on the spadix. They are juicy berries varying in color, usually containing two seeds. 3523
The New Merwede River: protection through depolderization
The Netherlands has long been associated with polders, ever since its engineers became renowned for developing techniques to drain wetlands or reclaim land from the sea and make them usable for agriculture and other development. This is well illustrated by the English saying: “God created the world but the Dutch created Holland.” In an unusual project, one of the famous Dutch polders is being handed back to nature. To reduce the risk of flooding on the New Merwede River, water has to flow faster when its level rises. A large-scale ‘depoldering’ project was embarked upon.
Taking place between 2011 and 2015, this project involves creating a floodplain at the ‘Noordwaard’. This is an area covering approximately 4,450 hectares — approximately 6,000 soccer pitches — in the province of Noord Brabant. Part of the Noordwaard will be ‘depolderized’, restructured and transformed into an intertidal area, through which large amounts of river water will flow to the sea.
Work includes the construction of creeks, dikes, mounds, bridges, pumping stations, roads and channels and a range of soil remediation operations. Sustainable solutions are characteristic features of the approach. Cooperation with local residents, businesses and stakeholders has been crucial to the success of this project.
The number of areas with dike protection in the Noordwaard was reduced and a new ‘Green Wave reducing dike’ was built. To spare the local residents from having to look out onto a higher newly-built dike, a 100 meter-wide willow forest was planted on the river side of the dike. Every other year the willows will be pruned back so that the stumps produce shoots which will catch a large part of the wash. By regularly replacing the willows they are expected to be able to absorb up to 80 per cent of the waves’ energy. Farmers and local residents were given the option of staying in the ‘depolderized’ Noordwaard by relocating their houses and some buildings to the tops of mounds to protect them.
The new landscape will be a resting place for birds throughout the year and the combination of the river discharge and the tides will create opportunities for major nature developments that are unique in Western Europe.
Japanese rock gardens (枯山水) developed closely with Zen Buddhism in the Muromachi Period (室町時代 14th - 16th century) departing from the Chinese influence. Rock gardens were the places for meditation.
Originally, gardens were designed to symbolise Ho(u)raisan (蓬莱山), which is a mythical island mountain in the sea inhabited by immortals. It is like a Taoism version of paradise. The mountain was made by a stonework while the sea by a pond. It was a Japanese invention to substitute the expanse of white sand for the water. This kind of metaphoric technic is called Mitate (見立て), which is a key word not only for gardening but also for Japanese arts in general.
In the Azuchi Momoyama Period (安土桃山時代 16th century), gardens came to be built in castles, and in the Edo Period (江戸時代 17th to 19th century) in private residences as well. As the travel became easier, Mitate of famous landscapes such Mt. Fuji, Miyajima, Yoshinoyama, Wakanoura etc. became popular. Themes of gardens shifted from religious symbolism to secular symbolism.
The rock garden in Gyokudo Art Museum symbolises the flow of the Tamagawa according to the museum website. The rocks in the garden are apparently brought from the real Tamagawa just outside.
Hi, Me again...
In April 2021, I received my first 35mm as a gift from a fellow photography enthusiast. I seriously had no idea what I was doing but I immeditely knew I enjoyed it. The sound alone was enough to give me shivers!! Since then, I have shot a few rolls of film, find myself in possession of 5 new cameras, managed to process 2 rolls at home, 'scan', and now I'm ready to put them out there.
I don't ever profess to be a perfect photographer. If fact, I'm usually incredibly insecure. Digital photography always had me seeking perfection. It is silly because life isn't perfect, but regardless, I feared things like proper exposure and unconventional subjects. (Yes....insert eye roll here!)
The thing about film though, it has given me freedom it be imperfect, appreciate 'flaws' and embrace everyday life in an authentic and unpolished way. Film has given me permission to love the imperfect and see it for all its beauty. Also, the fact that my hands are on it from start to finish....well that... that alone gives me immense satisfaction.
So.....I'm saying be ready for the perfectly imperfect. And just to prove it...I resisted the urge to edit out my chicken pox scars. :-) I'm going to be brave and start sharing what I've been working on and what I love.
Here goes....

Well, today I learned not to mix too many light sources. A red background with a bluish foreground light makes for very muddy colors. I appreciate digital cameras but wish I had the opportunity to learn how to develop film in a dark room. I stumbled across these negatives the other day and knew that I had to use them in some way.
What happens if a photographer discovers and develops his own style and starts repeating technique and motives? Is it becoming boring or does the work gain more depth? You find a new article with reflections about photographic style on the website.

Located at Buttonwillow Raceway Park, MBI Racing is a full service race shop. The MBI team primarily races Spec Racer Fords (SRF/SRF3) but has considerable knowledge and experience in racing Formula Mazda, Formula Continental, and Formula F. To date, MBI has won thirteen Regional Championships and four National Championships.
Develop your senses- especially learn how to see. Realize that everything connects to everything else.
Developing a series for my final year of university took me to the top of the Churchill Square car park in Brighton. The city is relatively flat and so you can see quite a bit from up there, although always within the looming gaze of the two tallest buildings. Nearby stands Sussex Heights; a particularly horrible 20th Century tower. Right next to us was Chartwell Court, an unusual block of flats that begins on top of the car park itself.
It was a quiet night and, whilst sorting out the shot, I imagined a timelapse of the rust dripping down the white paint across from me.
