    Cilts n Fog

    Our little cottage is situated within the grounds of an 11th Century Church. Today when I got up and looked out there was quite a fog and in the early morning light I thought I go and capture a few pics. So here they are.

    Great pics! We're just now coming out of the winter colors here. It's nice to see some green from Wales!

    Re: Cilts n Fog

    It was great to see you on friday Trefor. Thanks for taking all the pics. Soz we didnt have to much time for a good o'l natter but it was a busy night as you know, but you seemed quite happy sat there talking with some of the regular folk club members on your table. Hope you will be able to make a few more club meetings this year, and please bring your camera, you really do take the best pics of the club and performers ...
    (Trefor brought something with him too, but I will leave that to Trefor).

    great pictures. 11th century church reminds me that in terms of history the usa is still a babe in the woods.

    Wonderful photos! Well composed and very atmospheric (figuratively and literally! )

    Living in such a relatively young country I always appreciate it when other X Markers share such ancient historical sites.
