Thank you! Here’s a rough guide to pronouncing these place names:

Ynys Lochtyn = “UNus LOKH-tun” Llangrannog = “shan-GRAN-og”

The double-l “ll” letter in Welsh is pronounced like a “sh” sound, but harsher and further back in the mouth.

Similarly, the “ch” letter is similar to the Scottish Gaelic “ch” sound they use for words like “loch”.

Thank you! I think about colour palettes and colour contrast a lot.

Thanks!

This might give you a better idea of pronunciation.

Well this is the Yorkshire Dales; there are caves everywhere. In fact, just south east of where this waterfall is one can follow the main public footpath to Jubilee Cave and Victoria Cave. 👍

I’ll happily take that, ta very much!

The state of waterways in this country, and the sheer greed and arrogance of the companies tasked with managing, is abhorrent. There is no way that water should’ve ever been privatised in England. Water as a resource is a natural monopoly.

Thanks! Sorry to hear that something seems off for you. There’s no tilt-shift; this was shot zoomed in at f/11 for sharpness throughout. Saturation has actually been turned down as well, as the greens in all the foliage were really popping.

Thanks!

And that’s precisely why I shot it! Thank you!

That’s very nice of you to say! Ta very much!

A large part of the Yorkshire Dales is comprised of limestone. Limestone kinda dissolves a bit in water and acid rain, so when the water runs through the cracks and joints in the limestone, it can create cool slabs called “clints” separated by deep fissures known as “grikes” or “grykes”.

I am not. I hadn’t heard of it tbh.

Totally. Become a firm favourite of mine when visiting Skye.

Thanks! This is a single exposure from a 210mm zoomed in composition. I saw the band of light hitting the distant house and moorland, with the Storr in deep shadow due to the storm above, so nabbed it quick as I could.

Thanks very much! Those cliffs are something else.

Yes indeed!

Oh aye, the ruins of Dun Scaich castle. Totally agree, an ancient place; you feel it in your bones.

Ah, your shot is taken from Elgol on the Strathaird peninsula, north of where my image is from (on the Sleat peninsula). Lovely moody conditions! Skye’s beautiful no matter what.

Thanks very much!

Well, thank you very much!
