Welsh Water.

I was walking one hot summer in Snowdonia, when I came to this river. I am not usually one of those people who sees faces or animals in rocks and stones but at first glance I did think that the rock emerging in the top right hand corner was the head of a seal breaking the surface. I set up my tripod and my Rollei TLR and took one exposure. I happened to be in the same area three days later so went to have a look at the river. The water level had sunk; the seal's head was a beached piece of dry rock; the line of white foam had disappeared. It's never the same twice.
