Miners Track on Snowdon by shepherdman

Miners Track on Snowdon

While on holiday in Wales I persuaded Shepherdmans Wife to climb Wales, highest mountain, Snowdon, 3560 feet high. Actually what I suggested was a “photographic expedition” since any suggestion of a hike, or even a walk, I would have been met with a refusal. I had in mind the “Miners Track”, a popular route that gently climbs for about 3 miles or so, before becoming steep, and then exceedingly steep before joining another route to the summit. I had no expectation of either Shepherdmans Wife, or German Shepherd Lesia who hasn’t been a puppy for many years, attempting the steep climbs, let alone the summit, and I was pleased when that we got as far as a mountain lake just below the exceedingly steep climb, before Shepherdmans Wife decided that this particular photographic expedition had gone on for quite far enough.
great shot but where is that path leading too

@fotohendriks Luckily the path turns left before your feet get wet!

Beautiful scene --shame you did not make it to the top !! but it is a clime -- I did it when a student in Bangor uni --a long,long time ago !! Love the different tomes in the pebble path !

Wow --this is stunning with the lighting and the leading line, and the soft focus of the hills behind.

Love not only that is a path leading us into the scene, but those large stones that comprise the path are really interesting too!

Great composition. Nothing like a photo opportunity to get you motivated to do a strenuous walk.

I'm with Shepherdmans' Wife on this one. Though the view *is* beautiful and tranquil, with the sun just breaking through on the other side.
