The obvious question is: where's the mountain?

Here it is - Pen y Fan

 

[ddraig]

nice try mate, you know what is going to happen next don't you?

 

[teqniq]

Heh

Probably some grumpiness about 'when you've seen one mountain you've seen them all' or 'that's not a real mountain'....

 

[ddraig]

actually went somewhere last weekend that was stunning!


looks a bit mordor in my phone pic but please, take my word for it!
and those who've been there will know

 

[ddraig]

and from the little peak in the pic

 

[teqniq]

ddraig so where are these, somewhere in Pembrokeshire?

 

[ddraig]

ai, St David's, the outcrop/rock is St David's head a short walk from Whitesands bay on coast path

 

[teqniq]

I thought it looked familiar I should have known that, been to Whitesands bay and along the coast path

 

[ddraig]

you'd be able to tell if it was my partners pics! these were on my phone hanging off a rock!

1890

These beautiful, romantic old pictures show Wales from a simpler age - but you won't find them anywhere in this country.

The remarkable "photochrom" pictures are part of a set held at the US Library of Congress, in Washington, and mostly date back to the end of the 19th century.

Originally published by the Detroit Publishing Company, they were created by image-makers fascinated by the nation's castles and sweeping landscapes and much of the collection gives a romantic view of Wales.

and some of those above from a 120 years ago matched up with recent times showing still stunning locations

[ddraig]

where's this then?

 

[teuchter]

Is it Castell Talacharn in the town of Jpg?

 

[ddraig]

yes, you found my clue well done!
so where is it?

 

[teuchter]

Wales?

 

[ddraig]

oooh, didn't see that coming!
correct but please be more specific

 

[teuchter]

It's where the little red marker is when I type "Castell Talacharn" into google.

 

[ddraig]

dunno, can't see your screen

 

[teqniq]

Some might say that this isn't a 'Stunning picture of Cymru/Wales'. Nevertheless I think it's lovely.

Spotted today opposite the City Arms in town

and round the corner on Westgate St, outside an eatery, this made me laugh

 

[teuchter]

How original

 

[teqniq]

Evidently not, but still was the first time I'd seen it.

 

[ddraig]

I drove from Dolgellau to Harlech today, stopping at Barmouth Beach. It was quite special in the morning light.

I was with work and we'd optimistically packed a sledge. It got awesome use down the sand dunes.
