Notes on GELLI FECHAN, Upper Lliedi Reservoir, Llanelli 2019
From the end of the larger higher Upper Lliedi reservoir and ground, naturally is damp from the many little tributaries of the river Lliedi, a path is made along streams, through bracken and bramble and over fence.
A field opens out, some taller hardwoods stand, other have fallen or been felled. At the brow a small group of trees and the walls of the Gelli-Fechan can be seen outlined against the sky. A short walk across the field to the walls.
A broken entrance stone pillar, some signs of outbuildings, all low and overgrown and of little interest to me today. The house though is small, nestled on a bank, silent and beautifully located. There are little architectural details to focus the camera upon but that matters not, what does matter is the atmosphere, the fact that I did not expect to find anything here at all, possibly at best the outline of a cottage, a pile of rocks and rubble. My luck is in, the fact I wore my wellies fortuitous, since I wouldn't have bee able to get here without them. A few exposures were made, not easy with the trees blocking most views but possible nonetheless and it must be said, again fortuitous since I think the trees were exactly where I'd like them. A few compositions are made, with one eye closed, for all compositions are made with one eye closed. It flattens the perspective just as a camera lens would, a camera lens is indeed a single lens, and we aim to emulate this before a picture is even taken.
Once the photographs are taken I head back down the field and try to re-tread my steps over the driest sections of the lower field and then though the thicket of the boundary and back to the path that leads around the reservoir . It is here where I cross another field and scramble through a hedgerow, walk along a cycle lane, former railway line by the looks of it and to the neighbouring ruins of Gelli Lysged
