Still Waters

Still waters run deep,
Reflecting an azure sky.
Calm my troubled heart.

Nant Gwernol

Strictly speaking, this is not Talyllyn Railway. But when you ride the steam train along the narrow gauge track up the valley to the end of the line, where the quarrymen disembarked for their day’s work, there are walks through the woods around Nant Gwernol.

The railway has been preserved and is run by volunteers. It is well worth a visit.

I did not have my tripod with me when I came across this beautiful night-time view across Sandy Bay, Trecco Bay, and across to Ogmore-by-Sea. So I rested my camera on the sea wall and let tried several exposure times. I just love the effect.

Pen y Fan

Pen y Fan may not be the highest of peaks but it is easily accessible. And beautiful all year round.
