Penmaenmawr Beach & Great Orme at Llandudno over there.

I followed a steam train down from Cheshire into North Wales today and of course it rained virtually all day.
I spent a lot of time huddled under shelter with other fotogs, but hey ho, what else is there to do...heh heh.
This was just a brief window of sunlight and it lasted for a couple of minutes.
The train at this moment is on Anglesey (in the rain)(I went) and is an hour from returning to here by which time it is raining again.
Anglesey btw is an Island out of shot across the water to my left and is shrouded in rain and mist.
Only professional photogs, train fanatics and lunatics do this.!
I'm in the err...thingy category...!

A lunatic you may be ;-)) but it's a wonderful shot nonetheless. Excellent work, John V

John - you've surpassed yourself with this one...it's got everything - colour, texture, depth, a fabulous scene and those clouds are something else - I've looked really hard but can't spot the train :-P

It's the last cateory which you belong to...isn't it John? ;-))
It may have only lasted a few moments but you have captured it beautifully. +V

Nice detail on this John, great sky that adds lovely depth to the image....

Great shot John, love the light on the flowers and rock armouring it contrasts well with the ominous clouds. BTW I think you fall into the "dedicated" category!! V
