Those spirals are incredible

Thanks.
Oooh. I love how well that works in monochrome. Lovely work.
Today's #photograph is one of those everyday things that, in the right light, suddenly seem incredible. A puddle, covered in ice! #NatureIsMagic #photograpy

The consensus seems to be that it’s a ‘donkey’, used for loading and unloading from the nearby railway line. Probably a relic of the Industrial Revolution.
I think another poster was right when they said it was for lifting cargo – although having done some digging, it's not for ships, it's for trains (the railway runs by the castle). Although a small catapult would have been very cool!
I thought that TBH but apparently it's a hand controlled donkey, used for loading parcels onto barges and boats.

Oh. Thank you so much! I've walked past it so many times and wondered!
Today's #photograph was taken outside #Conwy castle and I have absolutely no idea what the object in the foreground is! Anyone know? #medieval #history #Noir
As a fan of both #DoctorWho & #SherlockHolmes it’s always seemed to me that either Holmes is an incarnation of The Doctor. Or The Doctor is the Sherlock Holmes of his particular universe. So maybe it's no surprise that I've written a book about the good Doctor. #scifi

Ohhh. She’s adorable. So brave. Certainly braver than I would be.
These little connections are what life is all about out!

Wow. Accident or planned? Either way it's a brilliant shot.
Yesterday's wander around Telford's suspension bridge proved that the ability to position yourself at odd angles is probably the #photographers most underrated skill!😅I'd hate to think what passer's by thought of my strange contortions! #photography #photooftheday
Sounds like the perfect way to spend a long weekend! The Hills above Conwy and up into the Sychnant pass are nice places to explore if you like walking. The Pensychnant Centre is great too - often markets and events on, and a beautiful area to use as a base to explore further
Excellent! Look forward to hearing about your adventures.
Keeping everything crossed!!
It's a beautiful place. TBH, all you have to do most days is point and click!
Honestly. Almost nothing stops them! The goats tend to come out early morning and after dark. You're sure to see them. Hope you have a great time. Happy to recommend some places!
Diolch and same to you!
It's a beautiful country! Do come if you can. North or South — all worth a visit!
That’s a pretty solid fence! Our roof really gets a battering this time of year. Have a roofer coming over the weekend to do a big job, so I’m hoping any additional damage happens before rather than after he does the work!!
Thanks. To see that duo leaning into the wind (much as I was!) just made me smile.
It's storm season here in #Wales and while the gale yesterday was too much for the wind-surfers, it didn't deter the walkers. I just had to take this #photograph of this determined duo braving the elements. And who wouldn't on such a spectacular day? #photoftheday #NatureHealing
“Well then, Kit, tell us about your devil." So begins a tale that takes #SherlockHolmes to a picture-book fishing village, where creature of ancient myth is said to haunt the byways. One of six strange tales. "With the skill of a master conjuror, Hammond both baffles and delights". shorturl.at/ToS1R
This is a brilliant project. #artists #illustrators #authors #painters please do consider taking part.
Are those tater tots? Never actually seen them before. Love the idea of smiley face food!
