Alec Stewart AWPF of Gwynfa Camera Club has a new website. Alec says “For as long as I can remember, I have had a passion for the natural world. To this day I am constantly amazed at the diversity and beauty that surrounds us every day. A walk along a canal towpath or through woodland becomes an exploration to seek out the fascinating and varied plant and animal life existing in these habitats”.
