Had a break in Herefordshire for 4 days. We did see some sunshine. But, when we visited Croft Castle & Parkland it was very gloomy and we had lots and lots and lots of the wet stuff :-) In fact it felt like "Buckets of Rain" were falling which, of course, leads to Bob Dylan's "Buckets of Rain" performed here Jimmy LaFave :-) Jimmy was a unique talent taken from us way too early. Rest in Peace, Jimmy Love the lead guitar playing by John Inmon Love the accordion playing by Radislov Lorkovic (Rad) Love the bass guitar playing by Glenn Schuetz And, love Jimmy's performance :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Buckets of Rain ~ Jimmy LaFave

I guess anyone with access to a camera visiting Gloucestershire/Herefordshire/South Wales will have been to Yat Rock and taken this view :-)) I have taken hundreds of shots here and I think this one, from way back in 2010, was one of my more successful efforts :-)) I believe the viewpoint rises to some 500 feet. From Wikipedia - “Symonds Yat is a village in the Forest of Dean and a popular tourist destination, straddling the River Wye and the borders of the English counties of Herefordshire and Gloucestershire, it is within a few miles of the Welsh border. The name is said to come from Robert Symonds, a 17th-century sheriff of Herefordshire and "yat" as an old word for a gate or pass. Symonds Yat Rock overlooks a spectacular gorge through which the River Wye snakes. This rock is the perfect viewpoint from which to watch raptors. A pair of Peregrine Falcons that nest annually within sight of the rock can be watched through telescopes set up by the RSPB. Buzzards, goshawks and hobbies are also regularly seen and it is sometimes possible to see migrant raptors such as ospreys and European Honey Buzzards."
