Notes on GELLI LYSGED, Upper Lliedi Reservoir, Llanelli 2019
Little remains and a fair sized farmhouse long ruined. Only one gable end remains with a mature tree internally growing against it the chimney. The grey rendered walls are cracked with thick ivy trunks running vertical, pulling the render off and causing further damage. Outbuildings and barns are also much ruinous. Sheep watched me from the adjacent field. They were content for ten minutes and then without movement from me suddenly fleeing to a neighbouring field. It was around 3pm, weekday afternoon, very overcast but no signs of rain. The world around me carried on yet I felt contained in a private timezone oblivious to misery and joy and chaos and life. I was only a few miles from Llanelli but rural Llanelli reminded me of my home in Ceredigion, the landscape much similar, especially for some reason in winter when all is cold, damp, solemn. It was comforting. A few exposures were made but not many viewpoints offered themselves with any satisfaction.
