We are used to seeing the dams coming over with force through winters it's quite common. The big wow about storm Doris was how quick waters rose on the Estate. It's been 2 years since I have seen the banks burst on the streams and rivers like it has this time. Water on the roads and some wind blown branches to pick up and trees down in Troedrhiwdrain Planting opposite us. We left the sheep not giving them their morning feed as it was so rough, it was better to leave them in the shelter which they had found within the hill sides.
Some photos taken around the valley over the storm period.
Craig Goch under the stormy Sky, you can our sheep in the background sheltering on the hillside.

Penygarreg under the winds blowing across - I wanted to slow down the water and yet get the drama of the waves... I enjoyed the challenge - i may try this again -
only problem is everything keeps getting raindrops on it, worse of all on the lens.

Few wet blobs on the camera lens, but still worth seeing the water rage through the rocks.
