Weekly Photo Challenge: Thankful
There are so many things I would be thankful for, my wife, my children but without my eyes I would not be able to see. If I couldn’t see how would I be able to take photographs. Or so I thought. When I started to research the subject of blind and visually impaired photography, I was surprised to find growing communities on Flickr with some really excellent photographs. Two groups well worth paying a visit to are;
Visually-impaired photographers in the UK
Blind Photographers
I am thankful that I have my sight, sure I am at the age now where I need glasses to read, but other than that my eyes are fine.
When I started looking at the subject of thankful I had more or less decided which photograph I would show for this week. It’s one I have shown before but it’s one of my favourite images.
Taken on a really cold day in the Snowdonia National Park, I came across this landscape purely by accident. When I’m out and about in Snowdonia, I don’t always have an itinerary of where I’m going. Sometimes I do but I’ll often deviate off my route if I see something interesting. That’s what happened here. I was heading home, intending to cut right through the National Park. Instead, purely by accident, I took a wrong turning and found myself driving alongside Llyn Ogwen. Best of all there was somewhere i could safely park the car and a good view-point to take this photograph
This picture is absolutely beautiful….you have quite a gift my friend

I can see why it’s a favorite. It makes me want to go there.
I came past that lake on Wednesday. Looks totally different. The sun was out, and the clouds were reflecting in the lake.
Amazingly beautiful photo!. Thank you for sharing your part of the would.
Since I moved to North Wales I’ve found so many interesting things to photograph. The scenery is beautiful and of course it changes with the seasons…
This is superb!
Thank you so much for your comment
I have often wondered about visually impaired photography and what a great selection there is on your links!
And what a fabulous reward for a wrong turn!
I was out on Wednesday in this very area. With all the rain we have been having I just knew that the waterfalls and rivers would be in full flow. I wasn’t disappointed and as a bonus there was snow on the higher mountains. Not only that it was nice sunny day with some good white clouds. What more could a photographer ask for….
Truly beautiful in every sense of the word. Only a photographer with your talent can render a scene such as this and make it spectaculor. It takes a special eye and a special gift. Of that you can be thankful as well as grateful.
Thank you for your comment. I guess I’m just lucky to live ina beautiful part of the world

I can see why it’s one of your favourite images – it’s stunning. I’d love to get to centra and north Wales, after having had a taste of Pembrokeshire.
North Wales is a beautiful part of the country. We have lots of old castles and ancient buildings, the Snowdonia National Park and of course the coast as well
When I was researching for our trip to Pembrokeshire I saw all the beauty in Snowdonia and north but, darn it, one can only do so much … I hope I’ll be back.
