Description

Wales is a land of contrasting landscapes. Mountains run through the spine of Wales from Snowdonia, through the Cambrian Mountains to the Brecon Beacons. On three sides Wales is bordered by water -the Irish Sea to the North and West, the Celtic Sea to the South West and the Bristol Channel to the South. Alongside ancient and agricultural landscapes, Wales has also been shaped by its man-made settlements, not least its capital Cardiff, and the transformation wrought in the country by the Industrial Revolution and then the post-Industrial economy of recent decades. In Wales in Pictures, photographer Mathew Browne takes a fresh look at Wales, capturing the huge variety of scenery, natural and man-made, that makes this country special. For those who live in Wales and its many thousands of visitors this book is a must. Look through these photographs and you will quickly see why this country has such enduring appeal.
