I had an image of this type of cloud here a while ago but its not there anymore. I was told by an expert that its an anvil Cumulonimbus cloud, as it rises up and collides into the troposphere, it then separates and spreads across.

Absolutely superb. What date/time did you take this?

Welsh for shampoo is siampŵ.

“(v.) Look up shampoo at Dictionary.com
1762, “to massage,” from Anglo-Indian shampoo, from Hindi champo, imperative of champna “to press, knead the muscles,” perhaps from Skt. capayati “pounds, kneads.” Meaning “wash the hair” first recorded 1860; extended 1954 to carpets, upholstery, etc. The noun meaning “soap for shampooing” first recorded 1866.”

We shouldn’t take the English language as a sort of master language as it is, like most languages full of words from other languages such as German & Old Norse etc.
Many place names in England are of Welsh origins, and there are a few place names here in Wales that have originated from Irish. Its all a bit of a ‘lobsgwos’ (Irish Stew?) really.

Craic, has crept into Welsh by now from Irish influence – crac.

Interesting shot and an unusual one of the South Wales valleys.
Images of these terraced houses are usually in symmetrical straight lines. Like it.
Looks more like Treherbert to me judging from the background.

Congratulations to Ireland on winning the Grand Slam yesterday, well done.

This happened to one of my own images, I remembered what I did, I simply forgot to log off before quiting my browser. All others have been fine.

I found magazines generally repeating themselves over the years especially the ones aimed at the mass media. I stopped buying them years ago.

Who needs photo magazines when we have sites like this one and many others!

Thanks everyone for your comments. This is what I was told it was…
“..an anvil of a cumulonimbus cloud as it rises up and collides into the troposphere, where it then seperates and spreads across”
