“In the green, grey and gold landscapes of North Wales, nature writes her own poetry. Her earthly odes range from the cloud-poking peaks of Snowdonia, alternately cloaked in wildflowers, sunshine or snow as the seasons shift, to shimmering lakes, beachy islands and verdant forests ripe for foraging.”
Every issue the Lodestars team runs into the same problem - too many fabulous photographs and not enough pages (although those who have been with us for a while will notice that every mag gets bigger and bigger … self control when it comes to publishing has never been my forte). So, to partially rectify this persistent problem, I’m sharing a few unpublished North Wales images from our Wales cover photographer Holly Farrier. She travelled here for a week over summer 2020 and her snaps were paired with musings from writer Sarah Jappy - who was equally under Wales’ spell. I hope they offer a little escape in these uncertain times and are a reminder of how much beauty awaits us close to home.
