Lake Vyrnwy.

Posted by MaryB (Staffordshire, United Kingdom) on 10 June 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

Well we got back really late this evening and are exhausted, we've done lots of miles and seen lots of beautiful scenery and places. So I've quickly down loaded my photographs and posted this, before going to my bed :)
Thanks for all your visits and comments on my previous two posts.

Lake Vyrnwy is a large, very beautiful lake/reservoir in Wales.

MadScientist from Düsseldorf, Germany

Very beautiful landscape shot! I always wonder how to pronounce words like "Vyrnwy" :-)

10 Jun 2008 2:40pm

@MadScientist: Thank you MS, it was amazingly beautiful there and the weather was fantastic :)
I wish I knew how to pronounce Vyrnwy too, we always say "Vern we" but I don't think that it's the correct way.

tyan from Singapore, Singapore

oh,how inviting!To picnic,not swim:)

Any idea how its name is being pronounced?:)

10 Jun 2008 3:01pm

@tyan: Oh yes Tyan, it's a wonderful place, so peaceful and relaxing :)
I don't know the correct pronunciation but we have always said, "Vern We"

Graham Russon from Cape Town, South Africa

Fantastic landscape and what a name to pronounce. I'm not sure if the tree on the left works, seems a bit distracting and out of balance (just my opinion)

10 Jun 2008 6:54pm

Ron from Saint Louis, United States

Idyllic ... I love the strong sense of anchor (or place) the tree on the left gives to the overall image ... as if among all that forest I am able to see only that one tree. Really beautiful ...

10 Jun 2008 6:55pm

Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, France

A beautiful quite place. ( i agree with Graham for the tree...) :-)

Lovely landscape shot, I loved living in Wales, although they do seem to have way too many consonants hanging around!

If one spends time here, one gets rid of stress for sure! Just looking at it and one feels the serenity that heals.

Beautiful view, Mary. Very precisely framed and aligned, too.

Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom

A terrific shot Mary, we can't make up our minds whether to visit Wales, Dorset, or Northumberland for our summer hol's, but I must say this image is so inviting, you are swaying me towards Wales by a long margin.
