Lovely afternoon in the Elan Valley

 I don't know what Blogger is doing - it has changed the format for putting up a fresh photo and instead of having a lovely big header photo, I now have a minisicule one!   I will have to see if I can change it, but all attempts so far have failed.





Our son Danny is here this weekend, and so this afternoon we went over to the Elan Valley again, and this time had a wander round the village.  Danny is very athletic and was soon leaping from boulder to boulder across the river like a Mountain Goat! Then he leapt with equal alacrity up the waterfall when we parked by that.  It was LOVELY there and I just wish we could have gone for a decent walk - though his idea of a decent walk is 10 times as long as mine and involves mountains!



The mountainous wall of the dam edge.





The old bridge across to the village, which is no longer in use.





Dan in the river (boulder out of site).



This was as brave as I got, out on the weir.


The waterfall reflected a drier and hotter June.




This was a special "brighter colours" filter on my camera.


Danny in the distance.


Water levels are getting lower in the reservoir.  When Tam and I walked around here in March, it was up to the treeline.  Back soon with photos from my volunteering debut on Friday . . .
