Clouds on the Menai Straits

Two weeks of rain have not been good for me, or my mood, but yesterday the weather improved and I walked on the prom just as the sun was setting. My reward was a wonderful horizon of clouds.

Here is a poem about the Menai Straits by RS Thomas.

Night and Morning

One night of tempest I arose and went
Along the Menai shore on dreaming bent;
The wind was strong, and savage swung the tide,
And the waves blustered on Caernarfon side.

But on the morrow, when I passed that way,
On Menai shore the hush of heaven lay;
The wind was gentle and the sea a flower
And the sun slumbered on Caernarfon tower.
