Pontsarn Viaduct
Situated in the old parish of Vaynor, Pontsarn developed after the coming of the railways and became a popular destination for a day out in the countryside. The name Pontsarn probably means Bridge of the long road – the road in question being a branch of the Roman road from Gloucester to West Wales.
The original wooden 18th century bridge over the Taff Fechan river was replaced by a stone bridge in1864 and this is now a protected listed bridge.
The Blue Pool and waterfall are features of natural beauty. A relative of the famous historian, Thomas Carlyle was accidentally drowned here in the nineteenth century. The Pontsarn viaduct built to carry the Brecon and Merthyr Railway over the river was designed and built by Savin and Ward and their engineer Alexander Sunderland ( as was the Cefn viaduct ) It has 7 spans and is an historic listed structure.
The Pontsarn Hotel and refreshment rooms were close by the railway station. When this was a holiday destination for families, it had a quoit ground, swings for children and sold tickets for trout fishing; as well as catering for lunch and tea parties.
The Brecon and Merthyr Railway was the vital link between this area and Merthyr Tydfil. Pontsarn Station was once a busy rail link, until closed in the 1960s, and had its own stationmaster and porter.

Dear December Diary: Lost the use of my camera this weekend. So I will have to cheat by posting older shots from my archive.
(I'm sure you will understand.) ;o)
The Admiral has been trying to improve his skills by doing some #sip_quality painting. What will come out of it?
It finally happened after 20 weeks! I don't have anything to post for this week's word. I had several ideas related to "wealth", but no motivation (and time) to take a picture as I've been pretty busy. So instead I'm posting my photo for "quality" earlier and will post wealth later. (Another reason is that I started to develop a short story around Ackbar and needed to post "quality" earlier for the story to work.)
ثمّة أضواء تشعرني بملمس قربك الحاني
حين تأتيني من بعيد لتنفذ شرفة نافذتي فتهبط على يدي وكأنها تخبرني
بأنها "أملي الذي بقى لي"
بحجم تشبثي بما أقبض
سأراك هنا بين يدي مع ولادة كل فجر

spending time with good friends, seeing family and enjoying the holiday decor throughout the city was excellent. the crowds, though? not so fun.

PENELOPE PRIM & PETUNIA PROPER; aka, the BFA Prim & Proper Twins:
PENELOPE:
"Sister ?? ... Do the Kenners know we stole their dresses??
PETUNIA:
"These are NOT "their" dresses, Penelope ... these belong to Frenchie and Godiva, who were here WAY before those Kenners!"
PENELOPE:
"Um ... pretty sure the KENNER OLD LADIES were first, being as they were born in 1972 ... "
PETUNIA:
"No, seriously Petunia ... maybe it is my guilty conscience ... but I almost feel like they can SEE us ... "
PENELOPE:
"That's creepy, sister ... now don't be silly ... you've been watching too many scary movies. They're JUST molded plastic DOLLS, like you and me ... it's not like they have any special powers or anything ..."
