The Journey to the Top

Posted by Michael Fresh (Chester, United Kingdom) on 2 June 2012 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

As the little train makes its way to the summit - a journey of 1 hour, the landscape starts to change, becoming rugged and awe inspiring.

My book entitled, Looe in Cornwall a photographic tour, is on sale now.

Lovely shot Mike. The texture and colour, though that sky is very un-Welsh :)

@grouser: grouser old bean, see reply to Doug.

Doug from Burnham-on-Sea, United Kingdom

Lovely shot, although I'm inclined to agree with Grouser, you don't see blue skies that often around Snowdon

@Doug: Doug & grouser, the day this was taken (28th) really was clear and sunny. No filters were used, apart from a polarizing filter which darkens the sky :0

I like the clarity of the sky. Clear air must be part of the answer. I'd like to take the train to the top. Fine post.

It's so enjoyable to reach the top ! You find pure air and it's less crowdy. :-)

Quite a change from yesterday where the mountain looked all smooth and green. It doesn't look so smooth anymore. I like these train adventures.
