Shadow Shot Sunday - Can anyone say this?



For Shadow Shot Sunday 2, we look for the shape and style of shadow, which the light fixtures give here. Of greater interest is the rest of the picture...I located a set of pics in a box last week, and there was a series of pictures taken by our then twelve son in July, 2003 on a People-to-People student exchange trip to Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales, the home of today's subject.

How does one pronounce the noertwest Wales town's name Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­goch?

A search sys this roughly translates from Welsh to England as 'St Mary's Church in the Hollow of the White Hazel near a Rapid Whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio near the Red Cave.' Not knowing the ancient language, that sounds reasonable to my ears :)
