Notes on TEIFI POOLS, Ceredigion 1999

In the summer time, when the waters have receded slightly, the floor of the lakes at Teifi Pools leave a hardened layer - crusted by the sunlight. But once stepped upon, as seen here with these sheep tracks, the foot (or in this case the hoof!) sinks - not deeply - into the rich dark mud. This image shows just that, at sunrise and works well as a simple landscape abstraction.
