Very nice but two questions. One, is it always cloudy and so dark there? Two, is that a Roman aqua duct in the second shot. If so it's very well preserved.

Hi, unfortunately we do get a considerable amount of rain in Wales due to the Atlantic Jet Stream, the shot was taken in August!. The Cynghordy Viaduct was built between 1850-1899.

It appears Roman but given the two thousand or so years since the Roman Empire, it looks in very good condition. Interesting - apparently who ever built it followed the Roman design... beautiful structure. Very nice photos.
Here in Phoenix, Arizona USA where I live it's rare to have clouds and rain because we're on the desert.
I'd love to see more of your country - I'd love to visit but alas... the $$$ is not intended for travel but for retirement.
Please post more - I love what I've seen of your stuff so far.

I visited Phoenix back in 1992 on a trip including Tombstone, San Diego, Grand Canyon and San Francisco. Stunning scenery and great people. I will keep posting, Thanks for the positive feedback.

I spent 3 years in (then) West Germany with the US Army.
But again no $$$ for things like travel - oh my do I wish.
Oh well, now I enjoy country scenes like yours and only dream.
A lot has changed here since those 23 years have gone by.
Population now in the valley is around 2.3 million and still growing. Traffic, traffic, traffic - oh my. Now we have to drive about 100 miles for scenery even close to yours.
Yes indeed, keep posting. I'd love to see more.
