As i have an abundance of photos to show you all from the weekend, i want to stagger them out otherwise it all get a bit much to take in in one sitting.
These are the views that we had while en route to the pump house and reservoir, Being part of the Brecon Beacons national park it is a place of outstanding natural beauty.
For this trip I had in tow my two younger brothers who ,while not budding photographers like to get snappy when something interesting is about.
I will introduce you to those two guys later in the post, but for now we look at scenery.
Looking from the trail towards Pen y Fan (peak on the left), I am unsure on how high this is but its pretty high.
I think they might have had issues in the past with campers and the fires that thy light on the mountain side.
I dare you all to try and pronounce our welsh way of saying "no camping please".... it will be fun, trust me.
A small man made waterfall in a near vertical valley bottom. This rainwater from high up in the hill used to be pumped into the pump house. Now it is allowed to flow direct into the reservoir.
The Same stream a little further down.
Now, the fun part.....Introduction time
These as i did say are my two younger brothers Jamie,26 (left) and Harri,17 (right). Jamie has just finished studying his masters degree in ancient Egyptian archaeology. Pretty clever guy.
Harri is studying for his A levels in High School, and wants to become a religious historian.
Whilst having a break from all that hard graft we get every opportunity to do some brotherly bonding, we dont need much persuasion to go out together though.
And the all important gang shot. !!!!
Cheers guys to a top day out..... where will out adventures lead us next.

DeleteWho's that handsome rogue in the middle. Oh, I know. It's me :)
ReplyDeleteLove the waterfall shots, superb stuff as always :)
I do try and make you boys look good. But as usual i just get shown up.
DeleteIt's a wonderful place I am so aware of but have never trod.
ReplyDeleteBand of brothers... so wonderful to see.
You should come down to the Welsh valleys to visit (except in Winter as not even the Ice age got that cold) i think you would like it.

Well someone has to put the bread on the table.... Without you i wouldnt have a kick ass camera to share my photos to all these wonderful people.
DeleteAll hail Gems ;)
Gorgeous place and shots as well! Good time for the brothers.
ReplyDeleteA brother bond cannot be broken. Well, not until there is only one beer left between the 3 of us.....then that is testing times.
DeleteThanks for the comments Red, welcome as per usual.
Beautiful countryside and superb waterfall shots!
ReplyDeleteThank you Tammy, they are a little tricky to get right without blowing out the sky with the longer shutter speeds
DeleteLooks like a fine outing! And I wouldn't attempt to pronounce "no camping" in Welsh for anything. But I'd love to hear you say it.
ReplyDeleteMaybe one Day Barbara, I will start putting up how to easily pronounce the way we say things here. There is lot of rolling letters and some funny sounding noises. We will get you there !!!!
DeleteBeautiful landscape! The waterfalls are fantastic! Looks like it was a great outing for everyone.
ReplyDeleteIt was a good day out, until i had to climb the valley wall to get out from that waterfall. Everyone bar me though it was hilarious.
DeleteAwesome waterfall. Looks like you had a great time with your brothers.
ReplyDeleteCheers Deno. they are Ok in small doses, like any family I suppose.lol
DeleteDid you get my FB message?
Great group shot! Nice that you have family that share your passion!
ReplyDeleteHi Michelle, i dont know about sharing the passion. While i am taking photos of beautiful things to share with you guys they can normally be found taking photos of me in ridiculous positions behind the camera trying to get that better shot. comical i know !
Deletenice that you can get together with your brothers and do the outdoors and photography like that
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to have them around, although it can get a little crazy sometime. you know what brother let loose can be like.
DeleteAmazing waterfall captures and no, I don't think I'll try the "no camping please" in Welsh. Lol.
ReplyDeleteNice to see your brothers and you are fortunate to spend time with them in such a beautiful place.
I bet you have has a sneaky go at trying to say it. Everyone does. I will be out walking alone this weekend, just wont be the same without them.
DeleteWhat wonderful sceneries!
