Images of South Wales
Highlights of a visit to southeast Wales through photographs
I visited Wales for the first time this fall. The scenic countryside began as soon as I crossed the Severn Bridge. I was in south-east Wales for under a week and only saw a fraction of it, but what I saw and experienced was delightful. It is easiest to share that experience through photos.

There is so much more of Wales I need not see, but my brief foray into Wales was a great introduction. An added bonus was the colours of the autum foliage.

Gorgeous photos, Donna. Your post reminds me that I need to start boning up on my Welsh history and planning a visit there. Looks like you could spend days just driving the back roads and taking pictures! Anita
Anita, the back roads were my favorite part of the trip.
Spectacular photos Donna! How wonderful that you were able to experience a fall season there!
Thanks Jacquie. The fall was a great time to visit. Not only were the colours wonderful, we had nice sunny weather.
Gorgeous. And I’m sure photos don’t even do it justice. Love the colors in the last picture!
Thanks Susan. There were so many more wonderful colours I didn’t get photos of, because we were driving or some other reason.
Yep, I have been to Witty, Wonderful Wales and am going back this spring. Can’t wait to see some of the sights you’ve shown and new ones. It’s a wonderful country.
Rose Mary, enjoy your trip. I’ll look forward to reading about it and seeing your photos.
