Fifty Miles of Weather

Fields and clouds near New Radnor

This journey to Aberystwyth is essentially a rural journey, from the Radnor valley to the sea.  I was aware today how busy the road is and how empty and bleak the surrounding landscape is.  'Bleak' is the wrong word, it is just empty, but today there was an edge to the wind and the drizzle never let up until I began the descent into Aberystwyth, when the clouds parted and the sun came out!  At home we haven't seen the sun for about four days.   My camera was struggling with the light and shade this afternoon, but here are three images to record the weather - and the contrasts - today.

And then climbing back into the hills the weather closed in on me again, the traffic all had headlights on, the drizzle turned to hill-mist and steady light rain.
