#LimeWorks

Todays #DailyPhoto, from earlier this week.... #Graffitti inside the old #Aberthaw #Limeworks. On the one hand, vandalism of a historic building....on the other, I quite like the colour in the photo 🤔 🤷‍♂️

The inside wall of an old ruined building. there are 3 rows of square windows stretching along a grey stone wall. In between each row the remains of beams that once supported 2 floors can be seen. There is no roof and a mostly clear blue sky can be seen above. In between each ground level window graffiti has been spray painted. The first reads "TYSK" in bubblegum pink, shaded in an attempt at 3D lettering, It has "OTS" above it in much smaller navy blue lettering. The next section appears to a have a large "Z" painted in pale blue with a white outline. There is more above this "Z" and further along the wall, but details cannot be made out in the photo

Took advantage of today's sun and blue sky to take a #walk, from Ffont-y-gari, along the #WalesCoastalPath to the old #Aberthaw #LimeWorks and back along the #Beach. Along the way, spotted a #TuftedDuck with a serious case of bed hair and a #MuteSwan which was begging to have the obligatory #reflection photo taken of it.

Looking over a small still lake surrounded by rushes, The water reflects the clouded blue sky. On the far side of the lake is a large partially ruined brick structure. It is split into 3 sections, the nearest is completely rectangular, grey and windowless with 3 small arched entrances at the bottom. A red brick chimney reaches for the sky at the right hand side. The middle building, also grey, has a gable end which obviously supported a sloping roof at some point. 2 rows of 3 rectangular windows can be seen in it. The 3rd building is mostly covered in ivy, but appears to be rectangular and windowless

2 ducks swimming on a lake with rushes in the foreground. The left duck is mostly brown with a small tuft of feathers at the back of its head, The Right hand duck is mostly black with a bright white belly. Feathers are sticking up and out from its head in a messy fashion

A swan, completely white with the exception of its orange beak and black patch between its beak and eye, is reflected in the slightly rippling water, behind it rushes form a dense wall

looking down a beach, the foreground is sand but further on it is covered in large pebbles. To the left are high, yellow sandstone cliffs, topped with grass. To the right a calm receding sea breaks gently on the beach, and above a thick layer of white and grey clouds is punctuated by patches of blue sky

A black and white photo of a homemade woodfired boiler made to run the Clifden Limeworks plant back in the day when Jim Laurie set it up with some local lads. It became a large employer later and is still in operation today. This is an old homebuilt contraption with rail trolley wheels on a platform and an engine with a metal cover over it, a stack of wood to burn on the left and a large boiler with a chimney on the right. Two unknown men lean against the machine in work gear.
