Last year I started running to get fit. I felt great until I got a baker’s cyst and my leg swelled up like a balloon. I’ve started feeling unfit and lethargic again so in a bid to get healthy I’ve started doing some serious walking. Four to five miles at a time at a decent pace, and feeling better for it already. Normally it is just me, earphones and decent podcast. But one of the almost unexpected side affects, whilst I try to find new routes and explore is finding interesting subjects. So the photographer in me is mentally recording possible shots to come back to another time.
A couple of weeks ago the camera went with me and I was fortunate to see Buzzards and butterflies, as well as a couple of pre-conceived shots I had in mind. The only downside to carrying and stopping for photography is my pace goes out the window!
My local and regular walk is turning into Carn Marth, with a good elevation it gets the heart rate going and the views are spectacular. I’m thinking this might be start of a collection focusing on this beautiful area.
A few images from my walk up Carn Marth…
