May 2012 Edition - A Jubilee mystery - why plant 100 trees on a lonely Welsh hilltop?
Mai 2012 Dirgelwch Jiwbilî – pam plannu cant o goed ar ben bryn pellennig yng Nghymru?

Beautiful, stunning, high quality prints document a unique copse watching Pentrefoelas, North Wales.
Lluniau hardd, trawiadol yn cofnodi golwg unigryw ar goedlan ym Mhentrefoelas, gogledd Cymru.

Based on a theme of passing spaces seen in a brief moment from a train or car window, Coed Uchaf is just one of many small woods that have a solid identity shaped by history.

The Upper Conwy valley is rich in history, a key route between England and the North Wales Coast and Coed Uchaf would have been a lookout post
as the Iberians, Celts, Romans, the Medieval Welsh, Kings and Queens all passed by.

Yr hyn a ysbrydolodd y prosiect hwn oedd bylchau a welwyd am ennyd drwy ffenestr car neu drÍn, coedwigoedd bach mewn caeau neu ar ben bryniau ‚ hunaniaeth wediíi ffurfio gan hanes.

Mae rhan uchaf Dyffryn Conwy yn gyfoethog mewn hanes ac roedd yn llwybr allweddol rhwng Lloegr ac Arfordir Gogledd Cymru ac ymlaen i Iwerddon. Byddai lleoliad Coed Uchaf wedi cynnig ei hun yn wylfa amlwg wrth i Iberiaid, Celtiaid, Rhufeiniaid, CymryÌr Oesoedd Canol, Brenhinoedd
a Breninesau fynd heibio.

These unique landscape photographs reveal connections to a fascinating distant past including the Romans, Fairies, Queen Victoria and even a Vicar's daughter. Experience the visual power and unique atmosphere and remember the brief moment, when you see a world which has long existed and will remain after you have departed.
