I thought Cotswolds but didn't know where. Hope you are having a wonderful time.

[Merddin Emrys]

Well done Hugo, I thought that would last for ages!  we are in Oxfordshire for a week, where we lived for many years! ☺

[Merddin Emrys]

Thanks Hollins,  we are having a wonderful time!   

[hollins]

Where is this?

[Hugo]

It looks like the view from Tryfan looking down on to the A5 and Llyn Ogwen.    Is that Mr H scrambling up it?

[hollins]

Well done Hugo. It was Mr H taking the photo and that is his friend down below.

[Hugo]

Where would you see this in N Wales?           

[Merddin Emrys]

Looks like a slate quarry, Dinorwic?

[Hugo]

A very good good guess ME.       

We saw it on the lower Australian level at the Dinorwic Quarry today when we had a walk up there.

I'll post some photos of the walk on here as soon as I can.   It was a very interesting one today.

[Merddin Emrys]

Thanks Hugo,  just a lucky guess, I could see it was slate, lucky guess!  D)

[Hugo]

I was hoping that it would have lasted a bit longer but that was a good educated guess.     

[Hugo]

ME,   you can just about make out where this white painting is in the quarry.   It's on the left on the third terrace

[Merddin Emrys]

I can just see it! An amazing place!

[hollins]

Where is this and who made it?

[Hugo]

It's in Bilbao and made up of various flowers.

The  Puppy is  a 43 ft (13 m) tall topiary sculpture of a West Highland White Terrier puppy, executed in a variety of flowers (including Marigolds, Begonias, Impatiens, Petunias, and Lobelias)[40] on a transparent color-coated chrome stainless steel substructure.
