Wales #2 – St David’s
As I mentioned in my first post, this is kind of cheating. We went to St David’s first, but the Abereiddy pictures were really cool, so I wanted to post them first. However, St David’s deserves a post, and here it is!
St David’s is Britain’s smallest city (size and population) and it’s known for being cute, quaint, small, and having a great, big, massive cathedral.
The wall was our first hint we were coming upon the cathedral.
Then – boom! – there it was … it’s a big cathedral for a small city.
The walled grounds are extensive and contain much more than just the cathedral. There are many other buildings and scenic spots like this one.
I feel like this paddock is just begging for a horse … or two.
It was while we were wandering about the cathedral grounds that my husband started telling me he was going to take a picture that would be published on the BBC weekly photo round-up.* Accordingly, we started a bit of a throw-down, trying to take artistically arranged photos which, at this time of year, in Wales, include lots of daffodils.
Behold the daffodils and other artistic shots (some more successful than others!):
Daffodils and ruins – so Welsh!
Heavy on the daffodils, light on the ruins.
I thought this one was quite pretty.
No daffodils, but kind of an atmospheric view of the cathedral.
Exhausted, and artistically drained from our photo shoot, we went to Pebbles for lunch where either we were very hungry, or the paninis really were the best, ooey-gooey, cheese-and-hammy things ever created by a human being. It was a good lunch!
OK, it wasn’t sunny or blue-skied, but the food was great! (© Copyright Robin Drayton and licensed for reuse under a Creative Commons Licence)
And that was St David’s. More Wales to come …
