Royal / Mystery / Dog: Sheep farm. They sigh, for they know what it means
Royal/Mystery/Dog: Sheep farm. They sigh, for they know what it means. Ci-ar-diawl has been again and has left his macabre visiting card-another dead sheep. Ci-ar-diawl means devil-dog. It is the Welsh name they have given to the dog that, for six months, has plundered and ravaged the flocks of sheep which roam the remote hills of mid-Wales. December 1970

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this haunting print titled "Royal/Mystery/Dog: Sheep farm. They sigh, for they know what it means" we are transported to the desolate beauty of a sheep farm in mid-Wales during December 1970. The image captures the essence of both royal mystery and impending doom. The focal point of the photograph is a lone shepherd standing amidst rolling hills, his weathered face etched with concern. Clutched tightly in his hands is a gun, symbolizing his unwavering determination to protect his flock from an unseen menace that has plagued their existence for far too long. The title reveals the source of their anguish - Ci-ar-diawl, meaning devil-dog in Welsh. This enigmatic creature has become synonymous with fear and destruction as it relentlessly preys on innocent sheep, leaving behind its macabre calling card - yet another life lost. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we can almost hear the collective sighs escaping from weary shepherds who have come to recognize what each new day brings; another casualty inflicted by this mysterious predator. Their eyes reflect both resignation and defiance as they continue their tireless battle against an adversary that remains shrouded in secrecy. This photo serves as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between man and nature, where ancient traditions collide with modern-day challenges. It invites us to ponder not only the resilience of those who depend on these lands but also our own ability to confront adversity head-on while
