This is not another shot of the Welsh scene but an on-the-spot-study which might have followed, had I taken brushes, paint and paper. Then stopped long enough.

The Day. The artist/writer conundrum:

can’t do and see/write at the same time.

Photos and very quick notes/sketches might be excluded, naturally, confined to The Minute or two.

Just as the world is full of good annunciators, so it is awash with digital photos, much much better than mine.

I took about 30 more pix. I could include them.

Instead here is a look and marks (study) from miles away. Most pix would make general or specific topographical scenes that would keep me busy and warm indoors on a dreary day in January -or in the case of last winter through snows of March.

The entire business of topography, or rather the landscape and awakening of cheerful feelings, affected me long before I heard and played Beethoven's Pastoral to the hamlet of Pannell's Ash in 1959.

Since then... but that is the stuff of later...
