Last few Wales pictures

I am just cataloguing a few final photos of my Wales trip.
From top to bottom we have some ruined buildings from quarrying/mining in the Elan Valley Powys.
The lovely ice cream coloured buildings of Georgian town Aberaeron, followed by a couple of dollops of the famous honey ice cream from the honey farm up the road from Aberaeron.


The next 2 pics are tropical Tenby! It turned wet after those photos but you can see through the palm trees across to Caldey Island.


And finally, a trip to Wales wouldn't be complete without Welsh Cakes!

Wales 4 - Aberaeron's colourful buildings

Aberaeron is a small seaside / fishing town in Ceredigion. I first got a look at it on route to Fishguard and I was struck by the wonderful coloured Regency style buildings. Seeing so much colour makes the world feel a better place, at least that's my theory!
It also reminded me of the colourful buildings I have seen in southern Ireland and in particular Dingle and Kenmare.


On the way back home I had to stop off and take as many photos as I could. I think I'll have to capture it in some artwork when I get time.


Also you might just be able to see on the last picture, the sea was a beautiful shade of turquoise.
