Yesterday, having checked where the driest locations were during a somewhat damp Welsh holiday, we headed for Llandudno, to walk the dogs on “The Great Orme”, quite a large country park on a peninsular. At the summit we set off with the dogs, but it was not a long walk, since it was exceedingly windy, unpleasantly so, and difficult to stand. If the dogs were only a few yards in front they could not hear us call them, even on the lee side of the summit, and so we returned to the car, and spent a happy half hour or so leaning into the wind, setting a fast shutter speed to compensate for inevitable camera shake, and photographed low flying seagulls and the panoramic sea views.
