Cnicht and Welsh Highland railway. Also a fence!! HFF!

I love this composition Peter from the curve of the railway to the mountain rising spectacularly in the background ~ Nicely done Sir ~ All the best ~ Nick

Thank you so much Nick,

This, in my humble opinion, is one of the best photo spots on the Welsh Highland, for all the reasons you have stated. Of course Cnicht looks so innocent from here...

Best Wishes
Peter

Terrific!
What's the name of this mountain!
Not critical, but would be nice to know!

Hi Andy,

This is the 'Welsh Matterhorn', ie Cnicht, as it says in the title!!
You can see the top www.ipernity.com/doc/2247998/43786300
Cnicht is clearly visible from all over the Porthmadog estuary, and easily identified.

Best Wishes
Peter

OOPS! Sorry, Peter. Of course I know Cnicht. I scan read the title and somehow didn't see it. I must learn to be more careful with these things!
Thanks for putting me right!
Best wishes,
Andy

PETER!! This is an awesome photo!!! What a composition you pulled off here:) It is a wonderful capture of this "curve" ...and the animals, the mountains ALL add so much to what you caught with this snap! its a YS for certain.. Love it! have a good Thanksgiving!! Sarah

Hi Sarah,

Thank you so much for your visit and wonderful words here. On a clear day Cnicht makes a wonderful sight from this area, and as always there are plenty of sheep, then add in the steam train, and I think we are all very happy!!!!

I wish you and your family all the best happiness for Thanksgiving on Thursday.

My Dear Füsun,

I am so happy that you have visited it, and are enjoying it. Thank you!
We stood there, and looked.. We thought "This doesn't look so big, or so far.."
Then some years later on a rainy day we conquered it..
An achievement that can never be undone!!

Love Peter

Great shot Peter. I will be back later for a proper look through. I have a bad cold and have lost my voice.....some are quite pleased about that ;-))

Thank you Rosa,

Pleased that you like it. I hope that your cold is better now!!
Of course the real proper look is to stand on the ground, look at Cnicht, ponder climbing up it, and wait fir the train to come!

Best Wishes
Peter
