That, of course, is not the case and Robin and I were able to visit a variety of castles, country houses, churches and ruins over our two weeks there, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bodnant_Garden\">Bodnant House<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dolbadarn_Castle\">Dolbadarn Castle<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Conwy_Castle\">Conwy Castle<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Plas_Mawr\">Plas Mawr, Conwy<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Penrhyn_Castle\">Penrhyn Castle<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Plas_Newydd\">Plas Newydd, Llanfairpwll<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bryn_Celli_Ddu\">Bryn Celli Ddu Prehistoric Site<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Harlech_Castle\">Harlech Castle<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Brecon_Cathedral\">Brecon Cathedral<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Llanthony_Priory\">Llanthony Priory<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Priory_Church_of_St_Mary,_Abergavenny\">Priory Church of St Mary, Abergavenny<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Powis_Castle\">Powis Castle<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Plas_Newydd_(Llangollen)\">Plas Newydd, Llangollen<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The history of each place was fascinating and on time scales that those of us from North America have a hard time understanding. <\/p>\n<p>These photographs called out for treatment in black and white. Some time ago I purchased a set of Lightroom Develop presets from Craft &#038; Vision by David du Chemin which had a set of warm B&#038;W presets based on the old standard B&#038;W filters of green, yellow, orange and red.
