Avalon

The Llanberis tree is Wales answer to the New Zealand Wanake Tree!!!! This lake, Llyn Padarn, is one of four lakes in Snowdonia that claim to be where King Arthur's sword was born (think Lady of the Lake) and where he went to recover/die after battle! The island of the orchard, Ynys Afallon, became translated as Avolon.

 

It was a wet day with poor light, so a conversion to b/w was always going to be on the cards. In fact the image on the back of the camera was mostly mono. This location is easily found as it is next to the villages main car park. Everyone composes slightly differently, with some putting the tree more left or right. It's all a matter of taste.
