Torrent at your door ...
Afon Glaslyn is the river in full flow here. It passes through Beddgelert on its way to Porthmadog. Beddgelert is a tourist magnet, for those that are willing to go hiking over mountains, that is. Located in the Snowdonia National Park, it is surrounded by glorious peaks, even Mount Snowdon itself, which is the highest mountain in Wales UK.

Jacqueline Baker
What a beautiful image i’m amazed how you manage to find all these wonderful old buildings and i’m so glad you do all the leg work! LOL :0)
richiedean replied
I am fortunate enough to be surrounded by beauty in all directions and it takes about 2 hours at the most, to get to the furthest point in Wales from where I’m based. Once there, it’s a pleasure for me to do the leg work for you ….... thank you …... :))
Mel Brackstone
Beautiful scene, love the rushing water, richie!
richiedean replied
Ive been wondering if the water would have a calming effect on the cottage dwellers at night, or give them insomnia !! ............ :))
Mel Brackstone
I suspect it’d be like the sound of surf…..you tend to allow it to soothe your soul….and miss it when you try to sleep away from the water….
richiedean replied
The cottage closest to us, is a holiday dwelling, available for hire, I’ve been considering it, as it’s only a short walk from the village pubs and considerably closer than the campsite …........
Mel Brackstone
More comfortable than the campsite too, I’ll wager :) Unless that torrent gets too high, of course…
Simon Pattinson
The effect of the water reminds me of galvanised steel, a layered effect. Congratulations on a wonderful work of art.
