Mynd úr fjörunni norðan við Stafnesvita á Reykjanesi. Bátsflakið sem er hálft niðurgrafið er bátur sem smíðaður var á Akureyri um eða fyrir 1960 af Nóa bátasmið fyrir Flateyinga á Skjálfanda og hét Bjarmi ÞH277. From Iceland photo taken on Reykjanes. Old boat wreck awaits its destiny.
These cottages on the hillside lie between the Stiperstones National Nature Reserve to the north-west and The Long Mynd to the south-east. I personally believe that this area is one of the prettiest in the whole of England. The Shropshire Hills is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the south-west of the county, covering some 310 square miles and extending to the border with Wales.
We had driven up the precipitous Bur Way from Church Stretton to reach the top of the Long Mynd in the Shropshire Hills, and reached a small car park where we stopped. Several sheep and their lambs were wandering around, and they were obviously used to visitors and the snacks that some brought with them. I couldn't resist taking a shot of this family group, with the mother keeping a close eye on me.
Mynd þessa tók ég á ferð um suðurfirði Vestfjarða í októrber 2018 og ég sendi Bílddælingnum og Siglfirðingnum Þórarni Hannessyni í Ljóðasetrinu hana og spurði hvort hann lumaði á upplýsingum um húsið. Hann sendi mér eftirfarandi:
"Þetta hús, sem átti að verða sumarbústaður, var líklega byggt uppúr 1960. Eigandinn var Ólafur Gíslason, kenndur við Neðri bæ í Selárdal, en þar bjó hann lengst af og var sérstakur velgjörðarmaður Gísla á Uppsölum, sem einnig bjó í Selárdal eins og ykkur er líklega kunnugt. Bústaðurinn er í Fossfirði, sem er einn af suðurfjörðum Arnarfjarðar. Systir Ólafs bjó, og býr enn, á eina býlinu í Fossfirði, sem heitir Foss en Ólafur lést fyrir nokkrum árum. Hann kláraði aldrei að ganga frá húsinu að innan og var það því aldrei í notkun. Nokkrir aðilar hafa, í gegnum tíðina, óskað eftir að kaupa húsið og nýta það sem sumarbústað, m.a. faðir minn, en því hefur ávallt verið neitað. Hafa kindur notað það sér til skjóls undanfarin ár. Ólafur var merkur maður og tók m.a. saman efni úr dagbókum Gísla á Uppsölum sem og kveðskap hans og gaf út í merkilegri bók sem kallast Eintal. Einnig gaf hann út um árabil Vísnagátur sem voru vinsælar meðal hagyrðinga landsins og fleiri. Eins hugsaði hann sérlega vel um vin sinn Gísla á Uppsölum og kom gjarnan í búðina til pabba á Bíldudal að versla fyrir Uppsalabóndann. Það var yfirleitt það sama: haframjöl, molasykur, kaffi og G-rjómi."
Abandoned house in the Western fjords which now serves as a shelter for sheep during springs and autumns.
It reached a staggering 32 degrees during our Long mynd walk last Tuesday. Starting out from the shooting box car park things didn't seem so bad..... we dropped down to Bridges and Ratlinghope and then the mid day sun got serious and the climb back up to the Portway via Darnford brook was scorchio.

A small spring stream trickles by, heading slowly downhill. The distant sound of a picnic, bees, people in the far valley below. But most of all, nature warming up.
This is the lane that takes you down a steep escarpment from the top of the Long Mynd in Shropshire towards the wide valley of the River East Onny. The gate on the right leads to a farm near the village of Asterton. This is on the western side of the Long Mynd, a heath and moorland plateau nearly 1,700 feet above sea level that forms part of the Shropshire Hills in Shropshire. It is some seven miles long by a maximum of three miles wide.
The Long Mynd is a heath and moorland plateau that forms part of the Shropshire Hills in Shropshire, England. The high ground, which is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, lies between the Stiperstones range to the west and the Stretton Hills and Wenlock Edge to the east. Much of it is owned and managed by the National Trust.

6233 "Duchess of Sutherland" works away from Craven Arms and passes Stokesay Castle, with Vintage trains "Welsh Marches Express" on 13 November 2021. I understand that the train had been stopped at Craven Arms for over 2 hours because of a fatality near Ludlow.
