The castles of Wales were mostly built by Edward I of England in an attempt to quell the Welsh spirit of independence. Whilst many of the castles stand in ruin, the Welsh spirit survives and thrives. Arguably one of the most spectacular castle ruins is that of Conwy shown here. At the head of the Conwy river and overlooking Colwyn Bay it makes for an imposing scene, just after a summer sunset lit by its own lighting and that of the walled town. Reflections abound and shimmer in the shallow rock pools and wet sands of low tide.
