BEAUMARIS, Wales — A herd of cattle grazes peacefully in lush green pastures, with the picturesque town of Beaumaris visible in the distance on the Isle of Anglesey.

Photograph by David Coleman. The image captures a pastoral scene near Beaumaris on the Isle of Anglesey, North Wales. In the foreground, a herd of cattle grazes in verdant fields, while the historic town of Beaumaris is visible in the distance, creating a striking contrast between rural and urban landscapes. The cattle in the image likely represent one of several breeds common to Welsh farming. These could include traditional Welsh Black cattle, known for their hardiness and suitability to the Welsh climate, or more recently introduced breeds like Herefords or Charolais. The presence of cattle suggests that this particular farm might be engaged in either dairy production or beef rearing, both significant aspects of Anglesey's agricultural economy. The lush green pastures where the cattle graze are testament to Anglesey's fertile soil and mild climate, influenced by the Gulf Stream. These conditions have made the island a prime location for agriculture for centuries. The fields may be divided by traditional dry stone walls or hedgerows, features that have characterized the Welsh countryside for generations and contribute to its distinctive appearance.
