A view at Hafren Forest #1

Here's a really gorgeous view of the Hafren Forest, during our holidays in Wales. And so far, out of all my photos there, this one is probably one of the best photos that I'd ever taken so far, because of the vibrant colourful trees, with its solid clouds and a bright blue sky in the background. And yeah, this one was definitely a must-take photo for me. Definitely one of the best photos so far!! :)

A view at Hafren Forest #2

Here's another gorgeous viewpoint of Hafren Forest, which like as always, was taken during our holidays in Wales. This is also another favourite of mine, as the scenery looked really good for taking photos, especially the trees, clouds and just... everything!!!! One of my most favourites so far, and I would definitely want to visit the forest again. :)

Severn-break-its-neck waterfall

Here is one of many fantastic waterfalls in the Hafren Forest, where the River Severn passes through the forest in its early stages. This waterfall is popular to many, and the water from the Severn crashed towards me as I took photos from the footbridge!
