  1. Is it possible to have too many?

  2. Rhosydd is one of the larger slate mines near Blaenau Ffestiniog, North Wales. Of the original 14 levels, 5 are permanently flooded and around 100 chambers are still accessible. This incline is unusual in having wide gauge rails carrying slate trucks on a wagon while a heavy counterbalance wagon ran on narrower rails s...

  3. Bangor University's School of Ocean Science (North Wales, UK) has its own 35m research ship used for shelf sea research and teaching. 20 images handheld from an open boat with speed matched to that of the ship - on a nice winter morning on the Menai Strait.

  4. Vicinity of Bleanau Ffestiniog, North Wales. Several levels down, too wet to go any deeper. The cable mechanism is a Blondin, named after the tightrope walker and used for carrying slate across the open chamber.

  5. Pano taken during a visit by Marine Geology students from Bangor University's School of Ocean Sciences in November 2012. An exposed spot on a windy day resulted in a few stitching problems. The cliffs show spectular fold structures, anticline and syncline. Rocks are sandy turbidites and schistose mudstones.

  6. A quick, handheld pano from Traeth Melynog (Welsh for yellowish beach). 300mm, Nikon D700. Cockles in the foreground and other invertebrates provide a rich feeding ground for sea birds. Oyster catchers, curlews, etc. visible.

  7. Pant y Wrach copper mine, North Wales. Natural growths in a man-made tunnel, formed over the last 150 years or so. A nice little mine with lots to see, but access is along a rather damp adit, flooded to knee level, then a short crawl. Not somewhere to visit in your Sunday best. Trying out some underground photo tec...

  9. View from the suspension bridge linking Anglesey to mainland Wales over the Menai Strait. Designed by Thomas Telford in 1826, it had the longest single span of any bridge in the world.
