Blaenau Ffestiniog - continued

Re-visit to Blaenau last week on a pretty full on 5-day shoot. The sun was shining all week for once so we made some hay (not literally!). Here's a taster. Again - 5x4 transparencies re-photographed on a lightbox for now...

Llechwedd is the last remaining quarry in Blaenau with men still splitting slate half way up the mountain. First, some images from the top of the mountain where sheds have now been abandoned. speaks volumes of the fragility of the industry.  What an amazing place.
