I mentioned some time ago that I might just drop in the odd single photo and so here we are…

Jude and I went for a walk along Llandanwg beach this afternoon. The weather recently has been very cold, but we’ve had very little wind and the sun was shining brightly today. The river (afon) Cwmnantcol comes out at Llandanwg and forms an estuary behind the main beach. The tide was in and the snow covered Rhinog mountains proved and ideal backdrop to the boats moored on the estuary.

    Apparently WordPress doesn’t want us reading each other’s blogs, because I have missed notification of your recent posts as well. Sigh.

    Anyways… LOVE this photo. There seems to be a story there, or just a storied area.

    Lovely, Mike! Quite a different water scene than mine with those beautiful snow covered mountains in the background. Fabulous reflection too!

      Thanks Donna. It’s a view that we don’t always look at, as we tend to be walking along the beach, searching for little bits of washed up glass, or other interesting objects, and looking out towards the sea. 😀

        Beach-combing is super fun! I love searching for glass, shells and heart-shaped rocks. 🙂

          Yes, it’s great fun and helps to pass the time away. Jude has put most of the glass that we have found in a big glass jar with some lights, so it looks very festive! 🎅

      Yes, one of the unfortunate things about posting a single image is that you don’t get to see the “full picture” like you do in a gallery of several photos. (Maybe next time I’ll have to post 2!) Hope you’ve had a fabulous Christmas weekend. 😊

        You can make the single images clickable by linking to “media file”. Are you using the Classic editor or block?
        Thanks, yes, I enjoy the Christmas weekend, although yesterday it rained ☔😁

          Rain is good – as long as it’s only occasionally! 😊
          I’m not sure which editor I’m using (the latest I think) but I can’t see where to set the image to “Media File”. When I click on the “Image” icon (after selecting the photo – which was loaded from the media library, obviously) all I see is a list saying Tiled gallery (my default – which usually allows for scrolling through large images), Gallery, Slideshow, Premium content, Collage, etc… So where would I find it or what setting do you think might work? I don’t think my template and having all my other stuff down the right hand side helps.

    Mike, when you’ve upload one single image and click on it, you’ll see a box above where you can choose “insert link”. The image will then be enlarged when the viewer clicks on it. Hope it helped 🙂

      Many thanks Anita – you’re a genius!! Curiously though, when I did a Preview after editing, all I saw was a link and no image. But looking at the website and the post now, you’ll see a HUGE image! So, thank you again. 👍👍😀

      I wasn’t quite sure why it worked as it didn’t seem logical, but I’m glad it did. So many thanks again for your technical expertise! 👍👍😊
