Wales 93

After having shown pictures of the Lake District I stumbled across these pictures from Wales. Friends of mine have a house there and we stayed over a weekend. No, this is not the house - although it is also quite old - about 500 years or so. ;-) These are the ruins of the priory of Llanthony which was built in the 12th century. Wiki knows more about it, of course! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Llanthony_Priory It was also painted by William Turner: www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/turner-llanthony-abbey-d00679 (I mention this because he's one of my favourite painters - and I just found out myself that Llanthony was one of his motifs).

Llanthony Abbey

Llanthony Abbey. My friends promised me rain that weekend - as it always rains in Wales. But I believe that when I travel the sun follows me. Usually I am right. It was June, it wasn't raining at all that weekend - but it was 5 C degrees in the morning...

I remember that when we walked further on I saw one the tallest and brightes rainbow ever... I also remember that I took my camera - and found that I had taken the last picture already. :-(
