 I felt like I was home, as if Wales was always my home. 

Barry, tour photographs are spectacular and they make me want to live in Wales full time so that 
I may capture the same beauty of Wales with my own photography!!! 
Your photography has inspired me to pursue every opportunity to visit Wales as often as possible.

found your photos quite stunning. Over the last year I've visited most of the locations you've 
photographed so could recognise them instantly. 

You have a very good eye for detail and adding depth and interest to all the photos you take. 
The colours are stunning and the composure is excellent. 

This site is now one of my Favourites!

 have photographed. When I see them I can't help but think that my mom's Welsh heritage is running 
through me, too, and it makes me very happy. So, thanks for the lovely pictures.

Wales (the home of my ancestors). Now I know why my ancestors immigrated from Wales in the 
1700's they chose to settle in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, the topography is similar, 
but not quite as beautiful. It's beauty has never been captured on film to do it justice in 
the way that you have managed to master photography. If you have published any books, 
please let me know.
