At the beginning of October we had a wee break in a small North Wales seaside town. The weather was very kind to us.
The locals all talked about a deserted and derelict mansion positioned in the woods and hills behind the town. Explaining the whole area was extremely overgrown and still walled.
A nice lady said that many people found an entrance into the grounds via a particular walk way. My man and I immediately thought – adventure. Packed some food and water and set off in search of the derelict mansion.
It was a difficult trek. Climbing over walls. Diving through brambles and almost losing a wellie in deep mud. But we made it.
This photo from a few weeks ago was taken in one of the old houses contained within the mansion estate.
Which leads me to last weeks Sinful Sunday shot- Desire. We carried on until we found the actual mansion.
After wandering around in awe we stumbled across an amazing crumbling staircase.

There were other adventures scouting around so I quickly lay down and we captured the header image and the photo below. Shot quickly in succession, with a simple colour enhanced edit on one. This is the image that Desire was created from.
I used a filter from an editing suite. A free download. It skewed the image perfectly – or should I say imperfectly to create last weeks arty picture.
Talking about last weeks Sinful Sunday shots – this one was my favourite. It is stunning.

The lighting and the way your body lies in such beautiful abandon, it’s gorgeous. I also love the mansion background!
Thanks Annie – did u check out my link to last weeks fave? x
I’ve been a bit absent from SS, so haven’t commented much, but this photo (the header) really caught my eye. It’s a great shot.
Thanks Cara x
This is an amazing shot in a fabulous location. It reminds me of a place we found in Slovenia last year, but did we take advantage? No. I love also the colours that the lower sun gives at this time of year.
That sounds like an amazing adventure and it was definitely worth the trek in my opinion. I would love to find somewhere like this at some point

That is a very stunning picture, May! I love the whole vibe of it! And I loved reading the accompanying story. The other pictures are very beautiful too.
Wow, May, this is a great photo! And what a story. I would have loved to have been with you guys. I liked your edit. Your Desire image makes sense now, that was something too.
That would have been great fun to have you along with us – If u are ever in Wales when we are we will take you there <3
I love the adventure that goes with the image. The efforts we go to are often not understood in a simple pic. It was definitely worth the trek!
