Imposing
Another from the archives.
The always imposing Tryfan which overlooks Llyn Ogwen. Iv'e yet to see it under clear blue skies and perfect sunshine or even a colourful sunset but I fail to see how any of those conditions could beat the dark and moody figure of a mountain when captured from this angle on a day with mixed cloud and some rain thrown in.
Of all the mountains we see on our travels be they in The Lakes, Dales or other parts of Snowdonia, this one really does make me wonder if Tolkein saw it and took inspiration for Modor & Mount Doom, it really gives of that kind of vibe to me. Luckily we've not encountered any Orcs when out and about the region but there have been some strangly dressed creatures hanging around the cafe munching on sausage rolls.
