The #Beauty of #Wales, some #Photos of the lake in #Llanberis, the lower reservoir lake of #Dinorwig pumped power station, one of the most important power plants in #UK. The lake is called #LlynPadarn, it is linked to another lake #LlynPeris, which is the lower reservoir mentioned.
Llanberis is the starting point of the steam locomotive that goes up to the summit of mount #Snowdon in #Snowdonia. In summer this area is overrun by tourist, the climb the summit or take the train up, many of the hikers climb up in #FlipFlops, which is really dangerous and stupid. I have walked some part to the summit, from a point a bit higher than Llanberis, and I saw lots of bloody toes and feet at that time.

It is a nice area, if you ever get a chance or are close you might want to consider a detour, I'd prefer to come off peak season, so maybe start/end of the season.

Quick proof of a boxwood engraving of Dolbadarn castle pressed to Somerset satin paper. Title taken from Caradog Prichard's novel 'Un nos ola leuad / one moonlit night'. Time now, as always, to think what might yet need doing.

Just before sunrise. A misty September morning across Llyn Padarn. Yr Wyddfa, still in the shadows.

Picture made many, many years ago using a now long retired 10 megapixel camera. I'd recently won a photography competition and used the prize to buy my first set of filters (now long cracked, scratched or lost!).

Dusk at Llyn Padarn. The reeds picking up the last of the sunset colours the only thing to do was to jump into the water to get closer!

Yr Wyddfa reflected in the background.

A 30 second exposure jumping around using a torch to paint the tree into the picture, pulling it out of the darkness.
