I know I shared this photograph recently. I had to do a poetry piece for it.

Interpret these words as you see them. It's sort of sad in a way. Feels Melancholy.

I welcome everyone's interpretations of these words.

It seemed like forever ago I visited... It was only March. Here are 2 pictures I snapped.

I forgot where I was at the time. For me doesn't matter because the timing of this photograph was perfect. A person walking the sands with their dog. I do have more pictures I just need to develop some film.

A few pieces of my own home town.

The pieces here take on stories. The pictures help the pieces come alive. Without them the reader is lost and confused. It's up to you how you interpret them.

We start with the local asylum that's partially abandoned. Moving on to the ocean. Then we take a look at the railway station. Before observing the BT Tower. As we stroll to the giant residential block that holds a restaurant atop of it. Passing the local wildlife. Ending our journey on the other side of the bay.

This is Swansea.

All pictures are my own.

Swansea in pictures and Poetry

All pictures are mine.

A place we call home. For many there will be a sense of Hiraeth.

"Some pass through and walk out into the light. Others remain, becoming part of the shadows—because not everyone who enters gets to leave." A recap on my visits to Cefn Coed Hospital.

Cefn Coed Hospital (1932) is a partially Abandoned Edwardian asylum and the last of its type.

My favourite tape. Yes an audio book. Dylan Thomas' Under Milk Wood narrated by none other than Richard Burton.

Got this on CD but finding it hard to get on Vinyl.

Set over a single 24-hour period, it explores the eccentric, funny, and deeply moving inner lives of the residents of Llareggub, a fictional seaside Welsh village. Guided by an all-knowing narrator, the audience gets a peek into the villagers' dreams, secret desires, and daily routines. It is celebrated worldwide for its rich, musical poetry and its celebration of ordinary human life.
