    My Chill Out Zone

    There is an area about a 40min drive from where we live called Waterfall Country. I have been going there since I have been about 7yrs old. Its a mixture of mountains, gorges,caves and waterfalls. It a place I love and its what I call my chill out zone. Thought I would put up a few pics from over the years ... you might recognise some faces as well.

    Great photos Derek. Looks like Hamish is not only perusing the view, but he is presenting us with a view of the pleats.

    Beautiful!
    Things I've learned in life:
    What you focus on becomes your reality.
    You can't control what other people do or say, you can only control how you respond.

    I thought that was Hamish in the first picture with his head down, even hiking through the woods Hamish looks distinguished.

    That's absolutely beautiful ! I can see why you love it so much. I would love to have the chance to roam about there. That's a fantastic "Chill Out Zone". Thanks for sharing your spot with the rest of us.

    That is beautiful - reminds me of the Brecon Beacons. Is it in that area?
