Yesterday we spent the day in Portmeirion. As is so often the case the weather there was beautiful. It seems to have its own sheltered micro-climate.

A few selections from the day:

Yes its quite striking, a good detail shot. I hope there's some more of the unique architecture in the bag John, as there must be ways to better showcase the rather special colours and shapes in this beautiful location, even under the fairly dull lighting you had .

Thats good, please do put some more up right here, as there are so many angles and perspectives to view this place from. I regret not being able to travel that far lately.

Deja vu, I was watching the Prisoner this morning which was filmed at Portmeirion!

I think I need to pay a visit with my K3.

A truly fascinating place I would so like to visit as a fan of kitsch 60's ITC series!!

Definitely very keen to see more of your excellent pics!!

A great place to visit, even if it's raining, which is was last time I was there!
It would be an ideal 'forum day out' unfortunately I wouldn't be able to join you though as I'm still in Tanzania but I'd love to see some photos from a forum trip to there!
Regards,
Michael

That does look like a really fascinating town that I must make the effort to visit. John, I presume you have chosen to angle your first photo, but should the second one be rotated clockwise slightly?

Cheers.
Philip.

Very nice images John. The road train is a good way to go around. Would love to go back there.
