Photography Friday: Devil's Bridge

While in Wales, we went on the Vale of Rheidol Railway

 to Devil's Bridge and saw the Mynach Falls.

The engine gets up to steam...

As we prepare to leave Aberystwyth station.

The windows are strapped in!

And we're off...

Along the Rheidol valley...

Towards Pontarfynach...

Made it!

The Three Bridges
The lowest is the Devil's Bridge

The falls viewed from the opposite side.

However, we climb down Jacob's Ladder rather then up...

The dark soil means the trees grow crooked
It's almost demonic

Mynach Falls

There are three segmented falls

And several natural caves

I could stand and listen to the falling water for hours

Ready for our return journey

Photography Friday: Aberystwyth

On my holidays...

To the land of the Dragon, Wales!

& Aberystwyth's rocky shore

From the war memorial, we saw a dolphin

At this castle, Owain Glyndŵr led an independent Wales from 1404-1406

Aberystwyth South Beach...

Where sun hats are required!

A lone ship coming back into the harbour...

& into the Marina...

Where you can paint your boat on sunny days.

A cooling walk into the sea edge.

Ornate Aberystwyth architecture.

One day did have more usual British weather...

But the sea was still beautiful...

& it was a fine day to clamber cliffs and explore caves

We found this shrine to 'Our Lady of the Cliffs'

The view of Aber and the north beach from Constitution Hill

Clarach Bay

Clarach Caves

Our last day was beautifully sunny...

Farewell Aberystwyth, hwl fawr am nawr!

Photo Friday: some city shots

The Magician produces a rabbit from his wallet...

Golden Post box for a local Paralympian

Golden Box in Golden Square

This should give some idea of what country I'm presently in...

Away from home this week, normal service resumes next week.
