The Tories and their war on road safety
This frosty morningโs sunrise, with the mist rolling over the valley, produced some magical, mesmerising, pink-purple-lavender light

Itโs a crisp sunny autumn day in the Clwydians, a perfect day for my husband to get his 1934 Humber Twelve on the road before the winter frosts and ice and grit spoil things.

The pond lilies of Llyn Cwmorthin, north Wales.
@yellowspanner You're absolutely right. There is so much industrial heritage, often world-class, that is just left to ruin.
The 'professionals' don't get enough public scrutiny, so they get complacent and lazy. It's 'amateurs' like me and countless others that are keeping these places in the public consciousness.
I don't know if there is a Welsh website for industrial sites like this to be highlighted, but we could sure do with one.

Evolution: how stone made its way from littering the ground into 19th century barracks for copper miners at Llyn Teyrn at the base of Yr Wyddfa, Eryri. After the mine closed in 1916, the stone quickly began returning to the ground...
Took a short #wander in #GraigFawr #Woods near #Margam today, very peaceful and #Autumnal looking

Radical Wales: Abolish Private Schools #Cymru #Wales

Welsh wanting to promote use of place names in the vernacular in #Cymru really hits a nerve with monoglot Daily Mail commentards who struggle with English.
There's also the odd Dic Siรดn Dafydd in there to prop them up. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12767439/National-park-officials-vote-refer-names-200-lakes-waterfalls-Welsh-only.html

Pipeline of Cwm Dyli hydro plant, fed by Llyn Llydaw below the summit of Yr Wyddfa.
Built in 1905, it was meant to supply a nearby railway but this fell into disarray. The plant went on to feed a north Wales AC grid, one of the first of its kind, that supplied slate quarries and, from 1914, the giant Marconi 'Carnarvon' trans-oceanic wireless station.
Old photo shows steam (coal-powered) cable winder on the high ground directly above the turbine house.
Plenty to examine and think about and cast mind back to how it was to live and work here, perhaps around the 18th century.
Weather after the passage of Storm Debi was lovely in the mountains, even if the wind resulted in water going straight up in a stream into the sky, not down the falls!
The house, probably a hafod (it had no fireplace) and thus for summer pastoral use, has no known name; working on this.

Woah! I just took the coolest picture ever! ๐
Popped out to the garden when I read someone's toot about the Northern Lights being visible in Northern Britain. Couldn't see them with naked eye, but long exposure, taken over town, above the hills in the north, showed the green glow...then a plane flew across the Big Dipper ๐

The monthly whisky is back!
Tonight I'm enjoying a Welsh whisky from Aber Falls. A young distillery, and a young whisky. It needs some more time!
Dwi'n mwynhau wisgi Cymreig heno, o Aber Falls. Mae'n ifanc iawn.

We're new here, so here's our #introduction
We're a retired couple, and we keep busy by travelling, and photographing as we go. We submit to several photo libraries and sell prints via pixels.com, which all helps to pay for the travel.
After some years living in New Zealand and Australia we're back in the UK, and settled in Llandudno.

So here's a pic of Llandudno...

#today was special. About 45mins drive from home we visited one of the oldest living things on the planet. I fear for its future, but itโs survived Bronze & Iron Age settlers, Roman legionaries, Christian iconoclasts & modern developers. Cymru-Wales has the largest no. of ancient yews in the world & this yew in Llangernyw is the oldest in Wales, prob. all Europe & thought to be over 4000 yrs old. Will the human induced new climate era be the end of it I wonder?

A cold nudging my #MEcfs symptoms (more) awake means I haven't been for a #wander for a couple of weeks and so haven't posted anything for a while. But managed a quick walk to #OgmoreCastle today where a lot of the #horses seemed to be in a slightly argumentative (or maybe frisky) mood.

A #Wander in the hills and #woods today, with a circular walk along (the alternative route of) the #WalesCoastPath between #MargamPark and #Brombil and back again.
Met a very obliging #GreySquirrel on the way to the picturesque ruin of the 14th Century #CapelMair.
The last picture is a panoramic shot (so click, zoom and pan), showing part of the #PortTalbot #TataSteel plant, which is prominent in the UK news at the moment
I spotted this wee patch of lichen on a hike recently and couldn't resist creating this image for fans of #Mosstodon and #LichenSubscribe.
I know nothing about moss and lichen but I'm happy to be enlightened as to what is pictured so I can research it a bit more.

Llangelynnin (old) church, Conwy.
A holy well within the grounds dates from the 6th century, probably the date of the first church. Earliest part of the existing building is late 14th century, with elements from the 15th and 16th centuries.

Last night, I sat on the cliffs at Rhossili from 10:30pm until 1:30am. I set my camera up to take photos continuously and when I put them all together, this photo was created showing how the Earth rotates in relation to the stars. The star in the middle is Polaris, also known as the North Star.
