Behind the waterfall.

A waterfall walk through a woodland valley filled with the sound of rushing water. Every vista was impossibly picturesque.

The best waterfall is one you can walk behind. There were a lot of people who had come to do this, picking their way across the very slippery rocks to stand behind the curtain of water.

The energy and moisture in the air makes it difficult to breathe deeply. The waterfall's voice fills the ears. 

I leaned against the mossy rocks, looked at the water before me, and burst into tears.

And then back onto the path, as more people came to spend some moments behind the waterfall.

Pen y Garreg dam. Huge waterfall. Mythical figure!

A very wet day in the Elan Valley. I didn't need a filter on my camera to get this image, the rain provided it.

And a sighting of a magnificent mythical being, arms outstretched, with a white cloak of furious water swirling down. Warrior? Magician? I couldn't tell.

As soon as I saw the face, I no longer believed in Pen y Garreg dam as a construction, but as living being. The energy in the air created by the water no doubt helped.
And the trees so fragile before the rushing cloak of white.

What a magical place.

Caban Coch dam. Massive waterfall. Unbelievable noise!

 Approaching the Elan Valley Visitor Centre, the sight of a wall of water behind the buildings.

The Caban Coch dam overflowing in a magnificent waterfall. The air was full of rain and spray, and my clothes were soaked as I walked closer. I could feel the power of the water reverberating through me. The sound took my breath away.

It was an overwhelming sight.

On the ledge of one of the buttresses, in the middle of the waterfall, I saw a tree. You might be able to see it on the far left, a faint outline. How is it surviving the force of the flood?

And, facing away from the roaring torrent, in the distance a beautiful rainbow.

It was a place of wonder.
