Bethesda, Gwynedd (archive)






   One year ago I was here in those fairy lands of Wales. It's interesting how at the moment I found no particular attraction for this photos, but today I find them a good plastic value. Time makes it better I suppose. 
   As for the place itself it is remarkably beautiful and quiet, I spent 3 relaxing days there, having the privilege of a sunny weather with almost no rain. The place has traditionally developed in slate quarrying, one can see slates everywhere around, mountains cut in half revealing it's tar-black core. The woods surrounding the area are keeping an archaic presence. Here and there stones are carved with Celtic inscriptions or strange witchcraft-like drawings.
   Also check out this post from last May, it's the same story: abandoned church.

old houses and radioactivity

            I've returned today to the woods, to shoot some abandoned house that I had explored some nights ago with with my friends. Also was a chance to test my new Asahi Pentax 1.8/55 lens. 
           The building is surrounded by woods, deserted areas and a residential complex for old people that seemed to completely ignore me while jumping fences and walls.
           Interesting fact that I've read about this lens is about its radioactivity. It's deadly good. It seems that the use of thorium oxide allow to minimize chromatic aberrations while utilizing lens of lower curvature that are cheaper to produce. However I hope that at least in this case, the radiation is barely strong enough to penetrate my skin, although it says that some models can radiate doses close to a typical chest x-ray.
