out and about - 2017
02 November 2017 .............. Good lighting out from Aberffraw
After the super weather of the day before, today was dominated by an almost complete thick grey cloud cover.
However it wasn`t all bad, because it brought some amazing visibility - and some super shafts of sunlight out beyond St Cwyfan`s -
Round to the south, and the mountains on the Lleyn Peninsula were looking as good as ever - in fact they were a bit better than usual, because, unusually, you could see them in three dimensions - normally you only see them in two dimensions, but today you could see which mountains were at the front, and which mountains were further back -
Even more unusually, Snowdon made a guest appearance - it seems to spend an awful lot of its life hidden in a cloudy mantle, so it was nice to see it for a change -
The shafts of sunlight went on and on - here is a bit of a closer view - I am not sure if it is what might be considered a good photograph, but it is quite dramatic -
I was up there for a good 40 minutes, and was getting colder and colder, as the wind was showing no mercy, so this was one of the last pictures I took before I headed away - I had to go anyway, otherwise I wouldn`t have got back before it got dark.
I know I had to go, but I wish I could have stayed a bit longer - when I was about fifteen minutes back along the road, I got a glimpse or two of what was some even more intense lighting and stronger shafts of light, as it turned towards the sunset time - however I wasn`t anywhere I could get a picture of it happening.
So that was a bit of a shame.
