DIM NOFIO
Still unclear on the Welsh for no running, no bombing or no petting.
This was taken on a rainy walk up to the disused Cwmorthin slate quarry at Blaenau Ffestiniog. As Wikipedia notes, "although the town is in the centre of the Snowdonia National Park, the boundaries of the Park are specifically arranged to omit the town with its substantial slate waste heaps from the Park." You can see it clear as day in any map of the area.
The difference between the Snowdonia landscape and Blaenau Ffestiniog couldn't be starker. The hills are just vast piles of loose slate. Derelict railway lines go nowhere. It's a real shame. I'd love to go back some time and spend longer there to do it justice. From a photographer's perspective it's just a different kind of beauty.
Looks best on black.
