New WordPress Photo Site

I would like to invite you to join me on my new Landscape Photograpy Site at WordPress, this site is not a blog, as we can see I’m not very good or motivated at keeping my blog updated, especially in these pandemic times when like many are not getting out.

Landscape Photography by Adrian Evans

February Photos

Been a long while since I posted, mainly because the weekly photo challenge I used to enter closed and I’ve been lacking in motivation plus I have not taken any photos this year.

Here are a selction of my latest edits.

Rhoscolyn lies in the south western corner of Holy Island, Anglesey, Wales, looking out into the Irish Sea. The defining feature of the landscape here is the dramatic, rocky coastline were there are numerous inlets and coves. Anglesey is an important study area for some of the most ancient rocks on our planet and Rhoscolyn is one of the island’s finest geological locations. It offers a spectacular display of complex, folded rocks which were old long before the mountains of Snowdonia even existed. Anglesey has long been, and continues to be, the focus of much interest, world-wide, by research scientists and students alike.

Elephants have been revered in Thailand for many centuries. Famous as the strongest beasts of burden, in Thailand they were important in battle, with kings mounted on Elephants fighting the Burmese to defend Thailand on many occasions. They have also been noted for their intelligence, memory and pleasant nature. A Thai legend has it that a marriage is like an elephant– the husband is the front legs, that choose the direction, the wife the back legs, providing the power !
