Portmeirion
by davidtrout
In the Italianate village of Portmeirion, North Wales. That's where the early 60's TV series, The Prisoner, was shot.

Very abstract..got a Moorish feel about it with those shapes and colours. Would look nice enlarged in a suitable modern frame on a white wall.

Thought it might be a DavidTrout even from the thumbnail. Great eye. Clever and engaging.

I live about an hour and a half from Portmeirion and have never caught it like this even though I've been there oodles of times. I went to a wedding there ond overnight with the lighting on the architecture was one of those most precious of experiences. Your choice of the close simplicity has summed it up for me in a nutshell. I was instantly there again. I suppose I get all excited about the place and take photographs thinking the camera will capture my emotions and not what my eyes see. Any one who has visited, you'll know that the atmosphere there just drips. Thankyou for this. Very special.

Thanks for the comments. I've been to Portmeirion a few times over many years and this time it wasn't really working for me. Nothing wrong with Portmeirion, it was me I wasn't completely switched on.
Back home this was one of the better efforts when I got them on the computer. But I have to thank a fellow member of Durham Photographic Society who suggested a more severe crop than I'd gone for. I was kicking myself, I like to think I know how to crop for maximum effect.
But sometimes you get too close to your own images and can't see the best way forward.
