Barmouth in Gwynedd, North Wales.

 

It lies on the estuary of the River Mawddach and Cardigan Bay and is located in the Historic county of Merionethshire. The Welsh form of the name is derived from "Aber" (estuary) and the river's name, "Mawddach".

 

The town grew around the shipbuilding industry, and more recently as a seaside resort. Notable buildings include the medieval Tŷ Gwyn tower house, the 19th century Tŷ Crwn roundhouse prison and St John's Church.

 

William Wordsworth, a visitor to Barmouth in the 19th century, described it thus: "With a fine sea view in front, the mountains behind, the glorious estuary running eight miles inland, and Cadair Idris within compass of a day's walk, Barmouth can always hold its own against any rival."

 

Dinas Oleu (Citadel of Light), which is located east of the town on the adjoining hillside, was the first tract of land to be donated to the National Trust.

Today I forgive myself. Not just once. Again, and again, and again. As many times as it takes to find peace.

The round house was erected in 1834 as a lock up.

It consists of two cells, one for men and one for women,it was last used in 1861.

The lock up was mainly used to house petty offenders,. and drunkards were often sent there to sober up.

 

It was also used to detain offenders as they waited to be transferred to the local courts or county gaol at

Dolgellau Gwyned.

 

I must say for a building that has been out of use for such a long time it is in very good condition

Nineteen.

I want to go back to nineteen

in the snow

with you.

Our shoulders touching

brough a warmth to my skin

in the cold.

February.

I want to go back to February.

Fogging up my windows in a desolate parking lot.

The memories could never bring me

close enough

to you.

July.

I want to go back to July.

Watching clouds move with your laugh,

watching flowers dance on my wall.

September.

I would never wish to go back to September.

The second it began,

was the second it was all over.

If I could break time’s hands,

I would break them in July.

You put stars in my sky, and then left me in the dark.

Pleurobrachia pileus. Cribog glain, Cwsberen fôr. Afonwen. Pelen fach dryloyw tua 3cm wedi ei rhannu yn wythfedau, fe weli'r yn aml yn yr hâf wedi ei thirio ar y draethell. Mae'r cribwr glain yn bwydo ar y plancton, gyda dau dentacl hir gludiog - nid yw yn gallu pigo.

Creadur yn y phylum Ctenophora, gair sydd yn golygu 'cribog', neu 'un sydd yn cario crib' (crib gwallt). Mae’r anifail yn nofio drwy guro, neu rwyfo, wyth crib o cilia (blew bychain). Mae'r cribau'n rhedeg lawr y corff, o un pen i'r llall ac yn rhannu’r anifail yn wythfedau. O dan y dŵr y mae gweld yr anifail yn ei ogoniant, wrth i'r cilia gurro, maent yn hollti'r golau fel prism, ac fe weli'r saith lliw'r enfys yn trafaelio i lawr y cribau, mewn tonnau.

Pleurobrachia pileus. Sea goosberry, stranded Afonwen beach. This is a comb jelly or Ctenophore. It is not a jellyfish and does not sting. It has two long sticky tentacles, and uses these to trap plankton. The animal has eight rows of cillia, or small hairs, that it uses to row itself through the water. Divers get the best view of these translucent creatures - the beating hairs split the light like a prism, and pulses of coloured lights are seen running down the body.

And when you showed up that night, with a concerned look on your face and kindness in your hands, you told me that I could always go back home. You told me that you would always be that cozy place for me. But all I could hear was, "Get lost." "Get lost." "Fucking get lost."

Couldn't shoot a photo yesterday because I was stranded in the middle of nowhere when my car broke down entirely. Walked hours back into town, and the entire walk, I felt power. Power in taking control of my own life and creativity and future. Ya know. Just weird shit.

 

So here's "yesterday's" photo. Will shoot something for today's 365.

The roundhouses of Tre'r Ceiri /

 

In his excellent book A History of Wales, John Davies writes: "Gwynedd has one of the most remarkable prehistoric sites in Britain - the settlement of Tre'r Ceiri on the slopes of Yr Eifl. It is surrounded by a stone wall which in places is still as much as four metres in height, and within the walls are the ruins of about a hundred and fifty stone huts. There is evidence that the village was occupied in the Roman period, but it appears that its beginnings below to the years around 200 BC. The huts, with their thick walls and turf roofs, were not doubt quite snug, but it is reasonable to assume - as Tre'r Ceiri is over 400 metres above sea level - that the huts were the summer habitation of summer shepherds whose winter dwellings in the lowlands have long since been obliterated."

 

Yn ei lyfr gwych Hanes Cymru, mae John Davies yn ysgrifennu: "Ceir clogwyn-gestyll ar arfordir gorllewin Gwynedd hefyd. Yno yn ogystal y mae un o safleoedd cynhanesyddol hynotaf Prydain, sef Tre'r Ceiri ar lechweddau'r Eifl. Fe'i hamgylchynir gan fur o gerrig sydd mewn mannau yn dal i fod gymaint a phedwar metr o uchder, ac o fewn ei muriau y mae cant a hanner o gytiau crwn. Cafwyd tystiolaeth am ddefnyddio'r pentref yn y cyfnod Rhufeinig ond ymddengys fod dechreuadau'r gaer yn perthyn i'r blynyddoedd o gwmpas 200 CC. Diau fod y cytiau yn eithaf clyd gyda'u muriau cerrig trwchus a'u toeau tywyrch, ond mae rhesymol yw credu - a'r pentref wedi leoli 400 metr uwchlaw'r mor - mai cartref i fugeiliaid haf ydoedd a bod eu hendrefi ar y gwastadeddau wedi'u dileu gan weithgarwch amaethyddol y canrifoedd."
