Trip in Wales with Inma (May 2019)
Powis Castle and Garden
The Powis castle.
The Art of mixing stones and flowers.
The statue at the main entrance.
Details.
Admiring peacocks.
Competing in beauty with the surroundings.
Which also make the most uncanny mix of colours.
Side view.
The gardens.
Ready for visiting the interiors.
The Golden Idol in the History of Nebuchadnezzar.
Corridor of a palace.
A bedroom.
And a bathroom.
The gardens were even better (can you see Fabrice?)
Flowers were literally perfect.
Still on the gigantic balcony.
But the lower part of the gardens was the best.
This view was one of the best of the trip.
A castle, a timber house and a British garden!
Going round like orbiting the castle.
Inma and Elena captivated.
Pausing with flowers.
And with the castle.
The fragrance and touch cannot be reproduced, barely remembered.
Julia among garden flowers.
Between gigantic trees and extravagant bushes.
Llangrannog
Llangrannog and its beach, as seen from the coastal path.
Llangrannog's beach.
Inside its cave.
Of course Julia got to practice her favourite beach activity.
Although she was more pensive and musing this time.
Time to walk the coastal path.
A pause to enjoy the view.
Treacherous coastline.
With strong rocky footholds in the sea.
Walking down Braich y Badell.
Interesting layered formation with quartz.
When you like what you see.
Inma was only partly reassured.
And refused to approach anywhere the border.
Little did she know that she was, constantly.
Ynys Lochtyn.
The coastal path on the other side, towards Penbryn.
We merely went down to Llangrannog again, to have dinner.
Penbryn
Fishguard port
Blue Lagoon and Traeth Llyfn
Saint Davids
Aberaeron
Llanerchaeron
Stokesay castle
Not in Wales anymore, but in Shropshire,
Ironbridge
Not in Wales either, of course, but a fitting last stop, since our previous attempt to see this landmark of England was frustrated by the bridge being covered by scaffoldings.
The sight we were longing for!
Julia by the bars which changed the face of the World.
Discussion on the bridge.
View from the other side.
Such an elegant fusion between nature and industry.
Below the structure.
