Default Cloud Trails at Portmeirion Beach
First time visit to the beautiful Portmeirion Village (setting for the TV series The Prisoner) on Saturday. The weather was glorious and I managed to get some lovely shots on the walk along the coastal path - here's a selection

Hi Tim,

Love the sky trails, they pull the eye through the picture in the first shot... I took something like the second one, like it... Would like to see more as I was only there a couple of months ago and looking at the greenary in the second shot, it looks more alive now. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful work Tim, love that coastline. Is Portmeirion where they make the beautiful china? I bought my wife some teapots a few years back that are labeled Portmeirion.

Fred they do have a shop in the village selling pottery and it can also be purchased in the nearby town of Porthmadog.
