Ok so it's not really a troll, it's my youngest son who was with me on my day out.
I am really pleased with this shot because it wasn't posed at all. I had been taking some shots of the interior of the cave and as I turned to leave I was able to quickly capture this image. I think it is a great composition and the lighting is spot on. I did do a slight adjustment in lightroom by tweaking highlights and shadows but apart from that it is pretty much as shot.
Yesterday's post was going to be my last from my visit to Snowdonia last weekend but then I decided to post this last shot.
I love the shape of Pen Yr Ole Wen and the shadow of Tryfan cast by the low sun.
At the end of our walk I turned to take a last look at the path down the mountain and noticed how beautiful the wall and gate are.
In the distance to the left is Tryfan at 918m. On this particular day it was cold and icy in places but in spite of the clear and bright conditions there were very few people climbing/walking its slopes. I remember my first visit to Tryfan about 20 years ago, it was really cold and covered in thick snow. I had trekked to the top with a group of friends and on the far slope on the way down we tobogganed part way on our rucksacks. Perhaps not the most sensible or safe method for descent but a heck of a lot of fun.
