52 in 2016 Week 1 Reflections

I must be mad. I’ve signed up for another year of the 52 challenge. What was I thinking of? Well, what’s done is done so here are this weeks photographs. Once again I urge you to click on the photographs to see them in a larger size.

I had a meet up with some old friends in Llanberis yesterday morning and since I was in the area it seemed to good an opportunity to miss photographing the lone tree which sits on Llyn Padarn.

It was still early in the morning and a bonus – no one about on the lake. Usually it’s full of canoes and kayaks, around this area of the lake there are a few training areas. Llyn Padarn is full, I’m not surprised what with all the rain we have been having. Usually you can see the roots of the tree, sometimes even walk right out to it without getting your feet wet.

After the meet-up I decided to take the long way round,to get home, it was such a nice day. Over the Llanberis Pass and through the Ogwen Valley. An area I know well as I spend a lot of time here with my camera. Once through the pass and on the way down I noticed this small lake which was absolutely flat calm. If you click to get a bigger view of the photograph you can just see the road with two cars on it. It disappears around the side of that mountain before rising steeply to the top of the pass.

Flat calm, with a perfect reflection. Just what I need for this week. Fortunately there’s a good parking place and I was able to walk across the wet and boggy moorland to get this photograph.

That it for this week. I hope you enjoyed the photographs.

Interested in taking up the 52 challenge. There’s still time to sign up and take part in Week 1. Just follow this link to the Flickr Group 52 in 2016
