Number 2 is humourous due to the lack of people. Looks like the break buzzer went and everyone took off. Very typical. Nice that the driver locked the lift in the up position though so the car didn't fall down.
What is with that life preserver in #3. Are they near the water or maybe just a souvenir from a trip or something.
I absolutely love #4 The Welsh Spaceship. I don't know what it is, but the way the shot is composed and the tones and textures in the mountains and sky and especially the grass and spaceship.... I'd hang it on my wall.
I think I know what you are getting at with Welsh Real Estate, but it's too vague, if it didn't have a title the shot would not mean anything to me or set me thinking about anything at all.
I like what you've done with Welsh Concern for the Environment, another great shot, and would like to see more of the same with even more alarming or toxic trash, but that's just me. I'm always taking the same kind of shots, but mine just look like junk, whereas, this one and Donald's recent "Bonnie Scotland" look good and make a statement at the same time.
Even though the thread title is "Wales 2" I think these shots are universal. I find them very appealing and actually when it comes right down to it, shots like this can be very useful and give some kind of meaning to spending time on this hobby in the first place. But now I'm rambling so enough already.
