Storm Clouds.

Perth was hit by a very big storm that delivered a hail storm that was close to Golf Ball size hail for about 25min. The open air car yards instantly got cars with panels that had the look of the surface of a golf ball. There was a lot of discount cars at this time with a very distinctive look. Once the Storm passed the Sunset was quite some thing one of the most colourful I have ever seen and the clouds really stood out.. This is From 22/3/2010, cars are still driving around with the tell tail sign that they went through the storm.

Way of travelling here

A very authentic scene of cramped local transport in Northern Thailand on the road to Mae Salong, with people packed into a songthaew or small minibus — a village perched high on Doi Mae Salong ridge, near the Myanmar border, whose access roads were little more than mountain tracks barely paved in time for vehicles to replace pack horses.

In 2012, the minibus service ran only until early afternoon and public transport remained notoriously sparse, leaving hill tribe communities — Akha, Lahu, Lisu, and the Chinese descendants of KMT soldiers — with no real alternative to squeezing into whatever shared truck happened to be making the climb.

The Horseshoe Falls

Our trip today consisted of a walk from Llangollen itself, for 5 km along the Llangollen canal to these falls, then back. It is in fact a man-made weir on the River Dee designed by Thomas Telford. The distinctively shaped weir, which is 460 feet (140 m) long, helps create a pool of water that can enter the Llangollen Canal

Since 2009, the weir has been part of a World Heritage Site, which covers 11 miles (18 km) of the Llangollen Canal from just west of Horseshoe Falls to just beyond the Chirk canal aqueduct and the railway viaduct not very far fro the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct. The canal was awarded World Heritage status because of the bold civil engineering solutions needed to construct a canal with no locks through such difficult terrain.

Early morning mist in the Dee Valley

The sight of some mist from our holiday cottage window makes me dash the two kilometre roads to the River Dee at Trevor. Indeed this photo was taken from near the Llangollen aqueduct. The mist here was dissipating quickly and so I thought I was lucky getting this.

PiP shows the scene just a short distance away a little earlier.

A pier from where one would catch the ferry or cast-off your little rowboat almost completely underwater except for these post. All makes for an interesting capture though in these muted tones.

Steaming away in Llangollen

The venue: Llangollen Railway station. Here we see the Lady of Llagollen, number 3802, a classic 2-8-0 GWR Heavy Freight locomotive renamed today for Mothers day from its usual title of Rockstar. The heavens have opened up but it will not deter the many pre-booked travellers out on a trip to Corwen enjoying the spectacular Dee Valley whilst having afternoon Tea.

The two PiPs show the locomotive switching rails at the terminus tunnel just at the end of the platform and a shot through the carriage window (including rainy reflections) showing the pre-prepared sandwiches, scones and cakes, all part of a traditional Welsh Afternoon Tea, just waiting for the guest and tea-pot.
