The ugly, lovely building that is the Wales Millennium Centre, reflected at dawn in a nearby fountain pool.
I used a 14mm ultra-wide angle lens held only a few millimeters above the water to get this effect.
And for those of you that remember "Torchwood", that's their HQ on the far right.
Conwy, traditionally known in English as Conway, is a walled market town and community in Conwy County Borough on the north coast of Wales. The town, which faces Deganwy across the River Conwy, formerly lay in Gwynedd and prior to that in Caernarfonshire. In the 2015 census "The size of the resident population in Conwy County Borough on the 30th June 2015 was estimated to be 116,200 people." The town itself has a population of 4,065.
The name 'Conwy' derives from the old Welsh words 'cyn' (chief) and 'gwy' (water), the river being originally called the ‘Cynwy'.

Taken last week on a cold but sunny walk, on the Ceredigion coastal path just after leaving the beautiful sands of New Quay beach.

When we walked past the rock face over the other side of the lake there was people climbing up there .Which i tip my hat to as you not see me doing that .Have great weekend folks what ever you get up to .
I love cold air, fresh air. I love the wind in my face. I love clouds scooting across the sky. I love to be outdoors and in the wilds.
It's summer now, but actually I hanker for winter. It may not be as colourful but I'm sure it's more interesting. I tried to cool down this mid summer shot to make it look more wintry, when being outdoors in the wilds gives me a rush. By the next winter I should well and truly be in the wilds. In long dark days I will find a mood to suit.
Does anybody have the word "Snowdonia" printed on any gear or clothing? It seems you are not allowed to have "Snowdonia" printed on your T-shirt because the name has been registered by JD Williams, the Manchester based company that slapped a cease and desist order on Eryri Eco Clothing which is based in Snowdonia. Eryri tried to register the name "Eryri" (Welsh for Snowdonia) but was told it could not because it is a place name, but at the same time was told it could not use the name "Snowdonia" because JD Williams have trademarked it. Doesn't this sort of stupidity in the world make your blood boil???? Too many lawyers stink.

Greetings. Wishing you a Happy and joyful weekend. Have fun and take care. Hope all is well with you.
On the train back to Cardiff after walking from Bristol to Bath on the trackbed of the former Midland Railway route between those two cities, a superb sunset to end a day that had started very wet but which had improved through the day. This was taken through the double-glazed windows of a train doing around 80 mph, with few gaps in the trees lining the trackside. This was between Newport and Cardiff, somewhere around Marshfield.
