Hopefully if you liked my post yesterday you will like today's pictures too.
I think the first picture is my favourite. I like the way the patterns in the rocks continue on either side of the crevice that has been worn away over so many years. They are like the grain in timber. I wonder how many years it took to form these rocks, layer upon layer and then how many more to erode them so that we can see them today.
The second shot was taken inside a cave with water dripping from the roof and running down the walls revealing the vivid colours in the rock. It was pretty dark so I used a small torch to illuminate the patterns in the rock and to emphasise the sheen.
This is...
Under Pembroke Castle there is something referred to in the guide book as a wogan. This is a cave which was likely home to the earliest inhabitants of the Pembroke area. Apparently it has never been excavated but there is a similar cave nearby which has revealed traces of human activity dating back to 10,000 years ago which is in the mesolithic era.
The castle is built above and there is a narrow stone staircase which leads down from the relatively modern courtyard. The entrance to the cavern has been enclosed by a thick stone wall with high windows and a steel gate and being a cave its really quite dark inside, fortunately my camera is able to pick out the detail even in low light and without flash so that is how I am able to share these pictures with you.
