Notes on YSTODWEN ISAF, Sylen, Llanelli 2020
Set just off the road, large barns beside still in agricultural use but the house, as seen here, roofless and ruined. A shame since nicely located and site has good vibes. I parked the car outside early one June morning and took a gate or two. The ground was firm although I image cows were not so long treading up the ground.
A few quick images taken. I set the camera up quick, a set routine, all fingers and eyes and the horizon leveled in the viewfinder. Within a minute a photograph is taken. It takes a lot less with a digital camera but a minute with large format is quick.
Ystodwen stands well back from the road, there’s a low set of stone outbuildings set at a right angle to the front, even a few panes of glass in the window frames. The rear of the house shows a large chimney and the rear not rendered giving a little more texture and evidence of the rubble stone walls. The grass around the house is short. The mist was beginning to drop. The Scot’s Pine always looking good in the mist. I wonder how many decades the house has laid empty?
