Once again I was stunned by the natural beauty of the landscape.

Cwm Bychan was as spectacular as usual, and I visited Dinas Oleu for the first time, which is definitely worth visiting if you’re in the area.

As usual, I took a number of photos. Here’s some to bore you ;) I recommend going full-screen.

Perhaps it’s something in the psyche; being away from civilisation, high in the mountains, with the plains spread out around you. Or maybe on a deserted beach with huge peaks in the distance. I love Wales, and in particular North Wales.

This feeling has something to do with the blog’s description: “the concrete world is starting to get ya” – which is also lyrics from the Flight of The Conchords’ song “Inner City Pressure” (which is hilarious).

Snowdonia

Here’s some photos from 2007:
