Above Knucklas

Strolling up into the
green and humpy hills
– views close, and further off;
cotton-wool clouds above
like a perforated ceiling
a little lower than the
shining blue of doming sky.

In the valley below,
the Knucklas viaduct
for scenic Heart of Wales train-line
– solid lasting stone.

Peace not really broken by
infrequent cars
running the ridge road,
and the returning steep and twisted lane.

A really strong sense of place. Especially the lasting stone of the train line and the doming sky.

Thanks, L-c, capturing the feel of these rambles, and the delights and interests of the places is what I like attempting! Rhiannon

Hi Rhiannon,]

your visit reminded me of rambles up on the ridge way not far from where I live.  Being so high up and looking down can be so exhilarating. Your words summed up the photos perfectly.

As always I so enjoy your rambles in the countryside.

Jenny.
