Heute vor einem Jahr hat #Wales landesweit 20 mph (entspricht #Tempo30) als Regelgeschwindigkeit im Ortsgebiet eingeführt. Auf 92% der Straßen, wo vorher umgerechnet 50 km/h erlaubt waren, gilt nun umgerechnet Tempo 30. Die Bilanz kann sich sehen lassen:
* Zahl der Unfallopfer um 29% gesunken
* 20 % weniger Versicherungsmeldungen
* Versicherungsgesellschaften legen niedrigere Prämien fest – im Schnitt 50 £ weniger pro Person https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/every-driver-would-save-50-29889358

Sometimes you've just gotta be a bit of a tourist.

So on one day we visited New Quay, taking in the sights and sounds, and enjoyed a beautiful boat trip around New Quay Head, where we saw DOLPHINS. 😍

A picturesque coastal scene of New Quay, Ceredigion, Wales, featuring a white seagull in the foreground standing on a rocky shore. The backdrop showcases a charming hillside village with colourful terraced houses cascading down to the sea. The houses, painted in pastel hues of blue, pink, and white, are nestled against a verdant hillside. The tranquil turquoise waters of Cardigan Bay lap at the shoreline, whilst fluffy white clouds drift across a brilliant blue sky, creating a quintessential Welsh seaside vista.
A striking view of the rugged coastline near New Quay, showcasing the dramatic geology of the Welsh coast. Towering cliffs dominate the image, their layered rock formations clearly visible, telling a story of millions of years of geological processes. The cliffs are a patchwork of dark grey stone interspersed with patches of vibrant green vegetation. A distinctive dome-shaped rock formation protrudes at the base, its rounded top covered in grass. Atop the cliff, barely visible against the overcast sky, sits a small structure, likely a lookout point or lighthouse. The churning teal waters of Cardigan Bay lap at the base of these imposing cliffs, emphasising the raw beauty of this coastal landscape.

trying a #Mosstodon post given that there is a lot of moss in #wales and all my photos look like this
a photo of rocks and branches around the roots and trunk of a tree in South Wales, everything is covered in moss, the photo is lush
photo of a woodland where there are sparse trees but the whole picture is green thanks to the light diffusing through the leaves and hitting a floor of rocks which are all covered in moss
photo of a path between two fields, the path is clearly old, and the sides are covered in moss, in front is a farmer's fence, it too is very old, and there is a gate in the fence
photo of some felled tree branches laying in grass, the tree branches are entirely covered in moss

Daily #Wales and it is miserable out there again (go home, weather front, you’re drunk). Here’s the view from Abermaw / Y Bermo / Barmouth from early a couple of mornings ago. When it wasn’t so nasty.

4 different versions of a 20 minute #StarTrails taken while we were on holiday in #NorthWales. This is #StTanwyg church, #Llandanwg, also called the "church in the sand" because it is nestled in the dunes. The skies there are very dark so I did some light painting on a couple of shots to create different versions. Canon 1100D 10mm wide angle lens, 25sec ISO-3200 f/4.5 for 20 mins. This beautiful little church really stole my heart #NightscapePhotography #Wales #StarStaX

Llangrannog, its cliffs, and the peninsula of Ynys Lochtyn offered some of the most otherworldly and dramatic coastal scenery I've ever witnessed.

Who knew the Ceredigion area of mid/west Wales offered all this?

Welcome to Ceibwr Bay and the famous Pwll y Wrach, or the "Witches Cauldron".

Part of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, the geology around here is unbelievable. Ceibwr displays deeply incised cliffs, sea caves, and folded formations. At Pwll y Wrach, a collapsed cave near the sea.

There are LOADS more photos from this day, you should view them all here -> https://www.iancylkowski.com/blog/2024/9/3/ceibwr-bay-amp-pwll-y-wrach-pembrokeshire-wales-summer 👍
