About Me Sorcha

My photo
Elan Valley
Having worked for most of my employed life as a Ranger/Head Ranger here in the beautiful Elan Valley in Mid-Wales, I have found myself entwined in this landscape, in all its wildlife, history, scenery, people and farming. I left my full time post to continue with the things that matter and to farm in the Heart of the Elan Valley and further my creative connection with this wondrous place.The Elan Valley Catchment is 72 square miles of spectacular beauty and abundant wildlife and is known for its series of stunning Victorian built Dams. I support the charity WaterAid who aims to improve Water provision to communities in 27 countries. I was most privileged to be a supporter on a visit to India in 2012. Life is a beauty, admire it. Life is a dream, realize it. Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a promise, fulfill it. Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it. Life is an adventure, dare it. Life is luck, make it. Life is life, fight for it. - Mother Teresa (1910-1997) Freedom is everything.

Stomping around

As it is the busy Christmas holidays things have been pretty hectic and I have had to dart about with the camera. So feeling as if its mostly snaps than planned trips. I have a few below which I got out briefly. The weather has been changeable which has been good fun. I have mostly stuck to my 35mm lens as it is so versatile.

    Loving the Black and white photo's, gives the subject a feeling that the colour doesn't always achieve.

    The stillness of winter is clear in them as well.

    I can see me returning to this blog time and again :)
