Crispian Pickles
lives in Trefin and specialises in landscape photography in Pembrokeshire
and Greece as well as photographing paintings and the theatre. He is married
to the artist Cherry Pickles.
From
late August until early November large numbers of the relatively rare Atlantic
Grey Seals come ashore to give birth on some of Pembrokeshire's more inaccessible
beaches.
These
pictures were all taken within walking (and climbing) distance of Trefin.
Great
care was taken to avoid disturbing the seals. They can, understandibly,
become very aggressive in protecting their young. There is also the risk
that they may desert their pups.
These
prints have been hand printed to exhibition standard on top quality Ilfocolour
photographic paper. Dimensions
of the photographs are 21 x 30 cm or 30 x 21 cm.
The
photographs are mounted, and cost £45.00 incl p&p each
