It lies on the estuary of the River Dwyryd in the community of Penrhyndeudraeth, 2 miles (3.2 km) from Porthmadog and 1 mile (1.6 km) from Minffordd railway station.<br /> <br /> Portmeirion was designed and built by Sir Clough Williams-Ellis between 1925 and 1975 in the Baroque style and is now owned by a charitable trust. It has served as the location for numerous films and television shows, most famously as &quot;the Village&quot; in the 1960s television show The Prisoner.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/petersrockypics/">Petersrockypics</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/petersrockypics/55591394359/" title="Llyn Gwynant"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55591394359_edda248ce1_m.jpg" width="240" height="135" alt="Llyn Gwynant" /></a></p> <p>Llyn Gwynant is a natural lake in Eryri / Snowdonia, Wales, formed by glacial action. <br /> It is a popular spot for canoeing, kayaking and photography, and was featured in the film 'Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life'.<br /> <br /> <b>Copyright status for this Photo is <br /> CC- BY - SA - 4.0.</b><br /> <br /> <b>Credit - Petersrockypics</b><br /> <br /> Thank You to anyone who faves/comments these pics.<br /> <br /> F20260928_102204</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/shoshanarose/">Shoshana Rose</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/shoshanarose/55591164564/" title="Ghosts Verses Vampires (Episode One, Part Four)"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55591164564_e9bf0fe58c_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Ghosts Verses Vampires (Episode One, Part Four)" /></a></p> <p>'You shot lightning from your paws,' Cashew eventually said. I braced for another of his pranks. That movie scene where the villain screams, 'Unlimited power!' For a tiny instant I did feel that power, but it scared me. Throwing lightning bolts from my paws is not something I'd like to do again.<br /> <br /> 'Your fur's standing on end too,' said Labneh. <br /> <br /> 'Ha! Yes,' Cashew pointed and laughed. 'Nothing like shooting lightning from your paws to give you a bad hair day.'<br /> <br /> 'I'll give you a bad hair day,' I grumbled as I glared at him with the pyramid and shard crackling. I was in no mood for his jokes.<br /> <br /> I did not really mean it of course. No way would I throw lightning bolts at my siblings. But thankfully Cashew stepped back, worried I might be a little bit serious, and we turned towards Hazel and her gold box. I sensed the ghost still trapped inside; the icy tornado locked in a dark prison. I felt his rage, but also his sadness and pain, and that only made me want to step closer.<br /> <br /> Closer. Closer. Closer. I felt so drawn. The ghost was calling to me, his voice crying in my head, yet he wasn't demanding to be set loose. I sensed him surrender to the darkness of the box. Accepting his fate. <br /> <br /> 'It's not so bad,' the box seemed to tell him. 'Just a little bit longer and the pain will be over.'<br /> <br /> Instantly the connection broke. I stood in the woods with the vampire troop again. Hazel had placed the box on a tree stump. Every vampire gathered around it. <br /> <br /> 'How did that happen?' I said. 'Hazel, did you know the box could trap a ghost?'<br /> <br /> 'Did you know your pyramid and shard can throw lightning bolts?' Hazel retorted. 'No, I didn't know. It just happened. I felt this urge to open the box next to the ghost when you shot lightning from your paws like some kind of Sith Lord. I didn't really know why I even decided to bring it with me. I just sort of . . . did.'<br /> <br /> 'Same,' I said. 'I'm not sure why I brought my birthday presents either. I just felt I had to keep them with me.'<br /> <br /> I stared at Bast. Of all the vampires, she was the one who told me to use my presents. <br /> <br /> 'I suggested you use your gifts,' said Bast before I opened my mouth to ask. 'As we all use our gifts.'<br /> <br /> 'And my gift just happened to allow me to shoot lighting from my paws and help Hazel trap a ghost in her box – which was also her birthday gift,' I said. I glared fiercer. 'Are you the one who sent us these gifts in the first place?'<br /> <br /> 'Why would I do that?' Bast jumped up on the tree stump next to the box. 'Yes, as I suspected, this gold box is lined with obsidian.'<br /> <br /> 'Like my pyramid,' I whispered. I held the twilight shard. 'What's this one made from? It's not obsidian, is it?'<br /> <br /> 'No, that is lapis lazuli, the celestial stone,' said Socrates. 'The stone of the sky.'<br /> <br /> 'Stop talking in riddles Socrates. Tell them like it is,' said Magenta. 'What he's trying to say is each rock and gemstone has a property, and some can effect ghosts. Lapis lazuli wards off dark spirits. To a ghost, the stone is a piece of sky driving back the darkness.'<br /> <br /> 'So it's like a light,' I said. 'But that still doesn't explain the lightning.'<br /> <br /> 'Well it kind of does, in a way, because you did shoot light from your paws. Just that light was kind of lightning-y,' said Cashew.<br /> <br /> 'And it did drive back the ghost and stuff him inside Hazel's gold box,' said Labneh.<br /> <br /> 'Okay,' I muttered. 'So what about black obsidian?'<br /> <br /> 'Obsidian is the mirror stone. It reveals all,' Bast explained. 'For a ghost, obsidian is like a corpse to a jackal or a gazelle to a lion.'<br /> <br /> 'Or blood to a vampire,' Cashew interrupted. 'I think we get the metaphor. Obsidian is like a magnet for ghosts.'<br /> <br /> 'Yes, a magnet is perfect. Like the dust trapped in the cone of a whirlpool of water,' said Socrates. 'Obsidian reflects the spirit, and that reflection draws in a ghost and traps them.'<br /> <br /> 'Or paralyses them long enough for us to strike,' said Julia Flavia with her obsidian sword in hand. <br /> <br /> 'So different rocks and crystals effect ghosts in different ways,' I wondered if some crystals might help the ghosts, but I had a feeling the vampires were not going to share that one. 'So what about you? How does obsidian effect a vampire?'<br /> <br /> I held the pyramid out towards Socrates. Each facet reflected the trees around us and my face and my sibling companions, but the vampires were not there. <br /> <br /> 'That's weird,' I said. I moved the pyramid closer to each vampire in turn. <br /> <br /> 'And it defies the laws of physics. How can a solid object not have a reflection?' said Labneh. <br /> <br /> 'That's obsidian for you,' said Zesiro. 'It's not like the silver mirror that reflects all. Obsidian reflects the true spirit.'<br /> <br /> 'Oh,' I said, understanding. 'And vampires have no spirit.' <br /> <br /> 'Because we have no spirit, we have no reflection,' said Magenta.<br /> <br /> <br /> Snuggles from Juniper, Cashew, Pistachio, Acorn, Campion, Shishky and Shishka.</p>
