I've finally done it, I've attended my first "proper" rave, I am nearing 50 years now, and way back in my teens I loved to listen to the old breakbeat hardcore tracks that hit the UK by storm, it was a predecessor of jungle music as well as drum and bass, and I loved this sort of music, one of the reasons I think is that it a lot of it was produced on the old Commodore Amiga computers, not forgetting as well that this kind of music was that got me into music production, so I do owe a lot to hardcore music.

(Final Image, which I absolutely love)Friday night I got invited out by a photographer friend to do some night photography, I couldn't make it as I was working until 8pm and was back in work early the following day, anyhow, things were in my favour as it clouded over so my friend cancelled anyways, but last night was different, last night we had some clear skies and I wasn't working the following day either :-)

I feel lucky as things are at the moment, well at least for one thing, and that is a field at the end of the garden, this field however has been scheduled for a new housing estate, even though it was greenbelt land, but the local council re-designated it so it could be built on.

A couple of nights ago, I had the intentions of staying up to see the Perseid meteor shower at it's peak, and also do a bit of milkyway photography. It was an unusual night as it was the first clear night we've had in months, it just seems like cloud after cloud, I set up the telescope in the garden, and sat there waiting for it to get dark, it was so wonderful to see all the stars as the slowly appeared as the hand of the night tightened it's grasp.

As anyone who follows me on here knows that I have had a break in North Wales, I was staying in a small town called Beaumaris on the Menai straight, it is a beautiful little town, but does get rather busy at times.What I love about Beaumaris is the castle, a castle that was never finished, although it is very large in size, looking at it from the road is quite misleading as it looks small, but on the inside, it's big, it's a bit like Dr Who's tardis lol.

So I've been going through more pictures of my trip to Wales, but this time shots from my mobile phone, again this is as we were sriving through the mountains to get to Zip World, they have a few different places around Wales, but the one we were going to was the underground golf.
