This shot from directly in front of the falls has picked up the fine mist that the falls produce.

Thought I had got away with it

Having just dunked my camera in the river I dried it off and made my way to the other side, passing behind the waterfall en route. I lined up another low down shot, this time on a nice flat solid rock, and fired away. I got this one in the bag and then the water inside the camera did it's worst.
Play time over for the day....

Latest medical bulletin. After days in Intensive Care (Airing Cupboard, Rice Jar) we are pleased to report that the patient is making a good recovery, though they may not have full use of their flash unit.

Probably the finest of the falls in Waterfall Country in South Wales. Just managed to catch this before a coach load of technicolour clad tourists arrived and spread out on the ledge behind the falls. If you want the place to yourself, come on a weekday!

Thanks very much for looking.

Probably the finest and most celebrated of the falls in Waterfall Country in South Wales. Even on a grim and murky day there will still be lots of visitors, so get there early if you want the place to yourself. Oh, and bring some wellies if you want to try this one. Last time I was here I managed to drown my previous camera but fortunately things went a little more according to plan this time. It didn't stop Monty fretting away on the bank though.

One of Wales' finest falls after a week of autumn rain. The spray was such that this was as close as I could get without the camera getting soaked, and the noise was tremendous! It was still possible to walk behind the falls, but Monty Dog and I got very wet - he wasn't impressed....

Thanks to all Phoide contributors to Hirwaun!
