The daughter of Thestius, king of Aetolia, and wife of Tyndareus, king of
Lacedaemon, she is best known as the as the mother of Helen,
Polydeuces, Clytemnestra, and Castor.
According to the myths, Leda was ravished by Zeus in the form of a swan.
Tyndareus, unaware of his feathered predecessor, also impregnated his
wife later that night. Thus Leda produced two eggs. One yielded Helen
and Polydeuces, and the other produced Castor and Clytemnestra.  |

This photograph was not manipulated at all during printing (apart from being upside down), but was accidentally damaged during processing, hence the colour distortion around the edges. It was taken at my aunt's house in Northern Ireland one christmas when there was a lot of freezing fog, which is my favorite condition for landscapes. I believe it would have been one of the best films I have taken but unfortunately this was the only picture I could salvage. Actually it is only half the photo, there was originally a celtic hill fort with a ring of trees around the bottom of it to the left of the picture.
