The air is clean and moist ( very moist!!) in Mid-Wales as demonstrated from the lichen growing on the banks of the River Vyrnwy in the Vyrnwy Gorge near Dolanog.text/html2010-03-29T18:18:15+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/7127Peter Styles52.714194 -3.409076SJ0413 : Small waterfall on the River Vyrnwy in the Vyrnwy Gorge above Dolanog

There are a number of small waterfalls on the River Vyrnwy below the Dam on Lake Vyrnwy. The gorge is well developed and sheer on the western side but much broader on the east, although still rising steeply to the road.text/html2010-03-27T13:33:22+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/7127Peter Styles52.920662 -2.553985SJ6236 : Enigmatic Mound near Moreton Say
https://www.geograph.ie/photo/1772814
This mound is very unusual in this area because most topographic features near here are subsidence hollows and Meres due to the underlying Wilkeley Halite, a soluble salt horizon at shallow depth. This is obviously not a recent feature because of the mature trees growing on it. It is not obvious whether it is man-made or natural.text/html2010-03-26T23:03:35+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/7127Peter Styles53.274493 -2.803435SJ4675 : Last gasps of the River Gowy

https://www.geograph.ie/photo/1761451
This field is pockmarked with subsidence features related to the underlying Salt horizons (Wilkesley Halite). This one has a small Mere in it but others are simply saucer-shaped depressionstext/html2010-03-19T16:18:28+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/7127Peter Styles52.969771 -2.548210SJ6341 : Wilkesley Winter Fields

Winter Hedges and Fields just before budbreak in Spring 2010 near Wilkesley. The topography is controlled by salt subsidence from the underlying Wilkesley Halite and there are small meres in adjacent fields which are formed in subsidence hollowstext/html2010-03-19T15:52:55+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/7127Peter Styles52.945984 -2.540617SJ6338 : Shavington Park

https://www.geograph.ie/photo/1757537
This is the juvenile River Weaver as it crosses the flat plains south-east of Nantwich near the WWII Secret Command Bunker at Hack Green. The river sits in a shallow valley the topography of which appears to be controlled by salt dissolution and subsidence as is much of the countryside which overlies the Triassic (Zechstein) Salt. The nearby farm is called Brine Pits Farm which appears to corroborate this postulate.text/html2007-04-29T22:21:32+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/7127Peter Styles52.990877 -2.264534SJ8243 : Keele Woods in spring
