Welsh-Polish grandchild of forced labour survivors of the Nazi regime. The rule of law: all else follows from there. Former microbiologist, now wandering over and inside the mountains, capturing and writing about north Wales' heritage. Fellow, Royal Astronomical Society. I also fly and motorcycle.

Mirror-like reflections of the sky on the way to RAF Valley this morning.

@sundogplanets I might be tempted to say this is another consequence of the US abandoning the rules-based order. But in reality, pretty much every space-capable nation is doing similar things, or soon will.

A cupboard door, made from earlier panels, as revealed by bevelled edges that cut into the ship at far right.

The ship graffiti is probably mid 18th - late 19th century, based on similar graffiti cut onto tombstones here and elsewhere on Anglesey. They are generally physical prayers for good fortune at sea; deaths at sea were exceptionally common then.

Unique within a church on Anglesey, so far as I know, but common enough outside.

Pretty impressive low pressure out there today. Heavy squally showers running through north Wales at the moment.

This is very inspiring work. Have a look at the amazing craftsmanship and maybe consider a donation.
