Last night we were literally under the loudest thunderclap we’ve every heard, which was followed by an absolutely torrential downpour. So we weren’t really surprised that the internet was down this morning. Unfortunately I couldn’t check on the weather or review location details. So we wandered in to Betws-y-Coed alongside the stream to reccy a waterfall in the town. Vanessa took a short detour to check out the closing down sale at Tresspass – the credit card survived. After some lunch I took a pensioner’s knap only to be woken up by the dog.
The sky was still clear, so we headed off to Llyn Ogwen lake which was were I stayed (at YHA Idwal Cottage) for my first trip to Snowdonia back in 1972. The light was acceptable but would be better in the evening (if we are lucky).
The sky made me wonder what it would look like in Infrared….
Approaching another small lake, we stopped and I continued with the Infrared camera…
From here we drove around looking for more inspiration and eventually ended up in a graveyard.
Unfortunately I checked the skies again after our evening meal and decided it wasn’t worth heading out again. Maybe tomorrow evening will be our lucky 3rd attempt.
