    3. Dear Listers   For anyone from the Tregaron area this may be of interest.   Any one on the list with an Ebenezer Richard connection?   I have only just learnt of this exhibition - and they have an excellent online picture show as well if you can't get there. (if you living within reach of Tregaron the exhibition is open until 9th Nov in gallery above Rhiannon's Gold Centre, Tregaron Square)   Excellent online picture show here:   http://www.thepicturemakers.co.uk/webpm2/diary/soaralbum/slide.html http://www.thepicturemakers.co.uk/webpm2/diary/soar2009/history.html   "Capel Soar y Mynydd... should lie derelict, abandoned years ago, yet it still persist, kept alive by a dedicated congregation who still climb the valley to worship where no one lives. For many it has become a poignant symbol of Wales; Soar y Mynydd has become an idea. While the chapel echoes its forlorn fate it is still able to keep faith with its forbears and, like persistent nature itself, clings tenaciously to its beliefs; in God, and in its Welsh history and culture."   Services are at 2.00 and only in the Summer months.    In the online pictures I couldn't spot this one by Ogwyn Davies which is my favourite. I believe it is now in the collection of LLGC - and certainly features on a Nat. Library card. NB for those who have never been to Soar y Mynydd, Ogwyn's mountains are metaphysical rather than that high in reality - he has several paintings of chapels, including Capel Ebenezer, Llangybi which also has an emphasised mountain behind it !   http://www.orielpenyfangallery.co.uk/uploads/ImageRoot/images/Q3hV46ZC.jpg?1256248025     Jen   Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com
