A lot of people make fun of Blaenau. All slag heaps and rain. Your images show this not so. There is a lot of beauty in the town and surrounding area. Excellent gallery.

Thanks Glyn....That's one of the best comments anybody has made about the gallery.

glyn humphreys		16-Feb-2012 11:36
Your wonderful photo gallery brought tears to my eyes this morning .I was born and raised in blaenau 70 years ago , and like many others I dare say wanted to leave Blaenau for greener pastures.Found many a green pasture in my travels but none to compare to the rugged majestic beauty of the area I left so many years ago.I will return to the land of my birth soon!!!!!!

Rory Trappe		21-Oct-2011 07:56
Hi BWJ, I hope the images are making you feel a little cooler ;-) Cheers, Rory

Guest		30-Nov-2010 21:59
David Diamond - Had a wonderful upbringing in Blaenau Ffestiniog. Often walked in the mountains and surrounding countryside. Been away 40 years now ,but do travel back annually to visit family. Travelled extensively (even visited Iona in New Zealand earlier this year) but your fantastic photos bring back so many memories of a wonderful countryside that is still "home" to me.

Iona Kay (Davies gynt)		24-Sep-2010 23:09
Growing up in Blaenau, we took the beauty for granted. You'd love the New Zealand scenery! My son lives in Queenstown in the Southern Alps and is also a photographer and I have forwarded your web site. Well done.

Charlie		08-Nov-2008 11:14
Hi Rory, it's just great to see these pictures. I'm in my mid fifties, originally from London but live in Australia now. My auntie, uncle and cousins all lived in Blaenau, and all of my childhood holidays were there, school holidays and annual holidays with mum and dad and brother. Blaenau has always had a place in my heart, and your pics bring it all back. I took a load of pics too, when I was in my teens in the late sixties and seventies, but my mum threw them all out! I had a fantastic one night time one taken on a really long exposure from high above Blaenau, looking down on the high street, covered in snow and all lit up for christmas. Ah well, it's gone forever now. Anyway, thanks for the pics, hope you take and post many more.

Derek Slater		13-Oct-2008 06:11
Thanks for the link to "Secret Wales" Rory, watching it I felt as if I had already been there; having seen it though your eyes on here. A very special place indeed. Cheers Derek

Rory Trappe		11-Oct-2008 05:34
Max, It was "Secret Wales"....you need glasses in your old age ;-)I might have had that coat since lakeside (1977) but at least it looked better than your leather jacket which you have worn since Primary....Heard you have bought a decent car at last, Audi. Want some mud flaps...green, on special offer? Cheers, Rory

Guest		10-Oct-2008 21:33
Rory Saw your interview on Tv for wild Wales (Yove had yhat coat since lakeside)!! max!

Ken Duckert		29-May-2008 12:59
A grand set of photos! North Wales is such a lovely place and your gallery presents it in an outstanding fashion. Thanks for sharing!

Jeanette and John		21-Apr-2008 01:30
My husband and I will be staying for 2 weeks, in May, doing genealogy research. Thanks for the preview of the area. Can't wait to be there in person. Why is there 2 places with the same name, close to each other? Marvellous photo's, thank you so much.

Richard Corbett		06-Apr-2008 06:52
Really lovely photos, Rory - what pleasure it must have given you to compile this gallery. Thank you for the pleasure it has given me. Photos of people interspersed is a lovely way of showing that real folk live there as well as the scenery and the sheep. I am inspired to finally buy that digital SLR!

Guest		23-Sep-2007 01:05
I just got back from a week in North Wales staying in Llan Ffestiniog, and this gallery reminds me of what I saw and even more of how much I missed. I'm going to pay more attention to my own area in the U.S. because I am probably missing gems like these just from day-to-day distraction. Thanks, Rory!
