I really like looking at how man in the past has influenced wild landscapes, and how the more ancient man-made structures can start to blend into the landscape to become an intrinsic part of the character of a place. Here are just a few examples from day trips I've taken this summer. From top left: Foxgloves growing by Dinas Bran castle in Llangollen, mossy dry-stone walling in Snowdonia, magnificent Scot's Pine dominates a private garden, Chirk Tunnel along the Shropshire Union canal built by Telford, stone path leading to the now abandoned historic slate quarry on Moel Siabod, Pont Fawr in Llanrwst possibly designed by Inigo Jones, and graveyard in a cemetery at a small chapel in Snowdonia
