'Swirling Patterns' - Beaver Pool, River Conwy, Near Betws y Coed, North Wales - 9.9.2020.

Believe it or not this is a colour image and was taken of 'Foam Swirls' in the River Conwy's - Beaver Pool near Betws y Coed - adjacent to the 'Fairy Glen'.

 

The River isn't polluted but is acidic and brown coloured. Last night's heavy rain over the River's catchment area of ancient acid rocks, which are often covered with thin layers of acidic soil, caused much material to be washed down stream.

 

The Beaver Pool is a very wide and deep, where the river's currents and eddies cause these interesting and ever changing 'Swirling Patterns'. Quite mesmerising too!
