I love these photos! What an aura they have! And what a great idea to go back to literal and your personal roots to give your project an even greater sense of presence and authenticity. Come to think of it, your first photo of the tree could not be more eloquent. Brava!👏✍🏼
How wonderful that you can trace your ancestry back to the 1500s.
The Wales pictures make me remember how much I loved reading How Green Was My Valley by Richard Llewellyn. He reminiscences about growing up in a South Wales town and the effect that mining brought to the community. It's on my reread list now. Have you read it? It won the National Book Award in 1940.
Funny you should mention that book. I read it as a teenager, and I need to return to it. I'm wondering how it will hold up. I'll be interested to hear your thoughts when you reread.
Fascinating to see these photos! It’s incredible how much information you have on your ancestors and how you were able to translate that into specific stops for this trip. I really love in particular the 16th century Church where one of your ancestors was baptized. This is going to be an incredible book!
