It was a proper grey day today…not damp, and neither cold nor warm, just grey nothingness. But it lent a sepia tone to the autumn colours.

I headed up to the Teifi Pools on the western edge of the Cambrian Mountains. The pools and reservoirs are the source of several rivers, including the Teifi, which I followed back down. I’ve missed wide open spaces recently and this was just what I needed.

I finished with a stroll around the ruined abbey of Strata Florida.

A photo of a mountain stream - Nant Egnant - rushing over grey boulders. The steep valley sides are carpeted in red-brown bracken and dark green heather nearer the tops. In the centre of the frame, crossing the river, is a wooden foot bridge. A veteran oak tree stands behind on the right, its leaves turning a red-golden brown. The sky behind is a flat, featureless grey.
Landscape photo of a view across boggy ground, an expanse of golden brown marsh grasses. In the centre is the limb of a large lake - Llyn Teifi, the source of the Afon Teifi, the surface of the water is a matt silver and pewter. A ridge of mountains rises up behind, under grey skies.
A landscape photo of a view down the upper Teifi valley. The mountain stream divides the landscape down the middle, red-brown bracken on the steeper slopes to the right, and golden brown grass and gorse on the left in the flatter, boggier valley bottom. The stream curves out of view to the right. Green hillsides rise up beyond. In the middle distance on the left, a few sheep eye me warily from a slight rise. Again, the sky is a flat greyness.
Photo of a rounded arched entrance doorway into the ruined Cistercian abbey of Strata Florida, the crumbled stone walls ending just above the arch. Through the doorway is a glimpse of the ruined interior walls, surrounded by short grass, and of the hillside beyond. The leaves on trees growing in and around the abbey are turning green to gold
