Neat picture. You folks sure have some interesting names for places.

Even more interesting is the fact that Mumbles in Welsh, Mwmbwls is Welsh for Breasts.

Even more interesting is the fact that Mumbles in Welsh, Mwmbwls is Welsh for Breasts.

....and guess that makes it even more interesting.

I can definitely see the analogy though. (You have words in Welsh with no vowels?)

Yes there are words in Welsh that have no English vowels, but W is a vowel in Welsh...

I have learned a little Korean - they have 15 vowels...

 

[WesternGuy]

Thanks. I learn something new everyday - W is a vowel in Welsh. How is it pronounced, or is it possible to describe this?

Like a 'U'. Ambulance in welsh is Ambwlans and pronounced the same was as in English...

No birds flew through the exposure in 15 minutes, or did you take them out? Nicely done and thank you for the grammar lesson too!

It was pretty windy - I didn't see any birds at all...just as well I have a very stable tripod...

Thanks. I think I will be a bit more aware of the Welsh language after this lesson.
