A wonderful weekend away in Lampeter for the annual Lampeter Society reunion. It’s always good to see old friends and make new ones too 🙂

Taken on my favourite Lampeter walk up to Castell Allt-Goch.
It’s a bit of a grey day today, so I thought I’d reflect that in the photograph. Stunning views across the valleys at the top though.
What is it about steampunk that photographers love?
I visited Papplewick Pumping Station over the weekend for the annual steampunk gathering and I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many photographers in one place. It’s fantastic to see the event grow from strength to strength over the years and explode in popularity.

I couldn’t really visit Cyprus and not include a photo of my favourite place to visit on the island – the sanctuary of Aphrodite at Kouklia.

Photo of the day (Swallowtail)
I wasn’t the only one exploring the ruins of Cyprus today.
Every year, I make an annual pilgrimage to Kourion to explore the ancient Roman ruins. If you’ve not been, it’s well worth a visit if you’re interested in pottering around ancient temples, a theatre (fully restored and still used for open-air musical and theatrical performances), Roman baths and many other architectural wonders.
The butterflies were also exploring the ruins with me. I managed to capture this Swallowtail, which are quite common throughout the island.
