Cwm Gwaun in high summer

Lovely the woods, waters, meadows, combes, vales,
All the air things wear that build this world of Wales.
Gerard Manley Hopkins

Looking south across the valley: the stream that will become the River Gwaun flows west towards the sea a few miles away.

A pair of red kites wheeled across the sky as I watched, soaring and diving through the warm air currents.
