Leaving Skomer Island, we headed towards Little Haven, where we had breakfast. After breakfast, we took a walk through this quaint seaside village. I was fascinated by the pale blue color of this house, so I moved around to include the colorful umbrella in the image.
Main Street, Little Haven
Adjacent to the car park, was a boatyard. I meandered around to find the most colorful boat that happened to be a row-boat. I needed to find some colorful images to complement the greens of the Welsh countryside! This one seated eight rowers and one cox in the rear.

Soon afterwards, we headed north to the town of St. Davids, where we were to stay in a hostel for two nights. During the course of the day, clouds gradually moved in, which made for great hiking weather. We headed towards Whitesands beach. The ridge above the beach was covered with flowering heather. I captured this image, using the pointed boulder in a near-far composition.
Rock At Whitesands
Moving towards the cliff edge, I found the heather growing in the fractured rocks. This point is about 40-50 miles from the coast of Ireland. This would be just over the horizon in the following image.

We made our way back to the hostel for dinner and the evening. The following day, we headed in to St. Davids, where a cathedral is located. Adjacent to the cathedral are ruins of the “Bishop’s Palace”. This proved to be more interesting than the cathedral. The following image shows the elaborate purple and white checkerboard pattern that once adorned the main hall.

We were looking for a post box to mail some postcards. I found this one right outside the palace. After mailing the cards, we headed towards the main street to do some shopping.

We headed back to the hostel that is located at the base of a hill. I climbed to hill to reach the cairn on the peak. The wind was really pumping at the peak. Fortunately the tripod kept my camera still in the howling wind.

This was one of the last images that I made during our trip. The following morning we headed back to London, where we would spend the night with family before returning on our flight back to Denver. This was a great trip, that we enjoyed with Susan.
