The most ancient recorded name for the lands of Britain - England, Scotland and Wales. This is the Britain where I lived as a child and it’s the Britain to which I still venture whenever I hear it call. It’s also the Britain that I seek to capture in images, in the hope that others might see them and be inspired to listen more carefully in the gloaming hour for the whispering of our fey past. Walk out when you hear that voice and look for the paths trod by our ancestors, for they lead to ancient places - places where the stones have stories for those with an ear to listen.

Isle of Albion News - November 2010

The autumn has well and truly settled upon the lands of Albion. I've been spending the dark evenings sorting through photographs from the summer months, and slowly adding more site guides to these pages. The Scottish borders, Wales and Brittany are my current focus.

As well as working through my existing backlog of photographs, I'm still occasionally managing to discover new places. I was lucky enough to visit Gors Fawr on a beautiful November afternoon, with the lighting and clouds providing the perfect backdrop for this stunning little stone circle.

In many ways, it is Wales that best captures the spirit of ancient Albion, with its unspoiled landscape and sense of timelessness. Here, the paths of our ancestors are easy to discern amongst the high places and hidden valleys.
