A patchwork of Green by a Sea so Blue

Captured by the old slate quarry at Abereiddy.

 

An area known as The Blue Lagoon is directly behind me in this capture, the lagoon was created in the 19th century during the excavation of slate which continued until the early 20th century, It's a wonderful place surrounded with relics from the old industry.

 

Unfortunately I got my timing wrong to actually capture it though as the sun was directly in shot, so I must return soon to capture it in a better light.

 

The lagoon is a popular place for water-sport activities these days and was also chosen as one of the red bull cliff diving locations during the 2013 world series, the cliff divers will be returning again this year for the 6th venue of the 2016 series which will be held on the 11th September.
