Snowdonia is probably one of the most heavily photographed areas on the British isles, yet it’s past and present are intertwined with complex narratives that often go unnoticed. Rob @with_the_grain_photo gives an insight in his series ‘Snowdonia Revisited’ ‘Marchlyn Mawr’, Sept. 2017, Snowdonia. From stone quarries that have been active since the Neolithic period and slate quarries that provided roofing for Britain and the world, to modern hydroelectric schemes: The Snowdonia (Eryri in the Welsh language) landscape of 3000ft/1000m mountains, valleys and lakes is one of the world's most beautiful national parks that also bears the scars of man's industry.  These are studies that reveal the beauty of what is hidden underneath the surface and new topography as a consequence of man. #documentingwales #storiesfromthenorth #thenorthwalesproject #hiddenwales #snowdonia #nationalpark #whatshiddenbeneath (at Marchlyn Mawr) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtOhemxg7it/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=106tyv5jsby9w

Stashed in a tree, an upside down slide - of the area or not I don't know. ••• #unexpected #hiddenwales #stashed #photoslide #landscapephoto #agfacolor

Another hidden llyn. The windo stopped me right here, literally in my tracks because otherwise it would push me over. I was supposed to go up the col to the right (where the video ends) but the wind was pretty much telling me that it didn't want me to scramble the 300m to the summit. I turned back. ••• #windywales #hiddenwales #moelsiabod #bettersafethansorry (at Moel Siabod)

Didn't leave my tent until 11am because of the wind and rain, wasn't sure what to do with my day. Decided to at least try get up Moel Siabod. The paths were streams but it led to this dramatic quarry pool, a little surprise on a weird day. ••• #hiddenwales #moelsiabod #quarrypool #unexpected (at Moel Siabod)
