PHOTO - south view of Welsh coast

Hi Gang;
This view is looking southwards from the same place as the other photo. Shows the typical windswept pasture several hundred feet above sea level. The little pond is fed from a stream coming downhill and the overflow goes down through the meadow to the cliff edge. These were often man-made to provide a watering place for cattle & sheep. The dark green growth is Bracken which is invading the upland fields, kills everything it smothers, root sytem travels undground. VERY difficult to erradicate, spraying & constant mowing will keep it incheck but not kill it. The stalks are "rubbery" and hard to cut-chop. the leaves (fronds) are tough and can cause cancer!
It grows about 5 feet high and is inpetetrable to animals or humans.
The stalks in the foreground are thistles.
Cheers David

I see there's Canada thistle over there also.

That stuff is so persistant it must be everywhere.

Keep the pictures coming.

That might be the reason I find the context of your photos so appealing! Nice place!
