I love it when Liz and I discover somewhere new, somewhere we've heard about but never been.
Such was the case towards the end of July 2020, when found ourselves at Trawsfynydd.
We'd driven past the village, lake and famous Magnox nuclear power station on many occasions, but never stopped for some reason.
However this time we did, pulling into a car park by the side of Llyn Trawsfynydd, complete with cafe and facilities for the anglers who frequent this end of the lake.
But we were more interested in the scenery, and so after a fortifying cup of coffee from the cafe we took ourselves on a walk along the lakeside path.
About halfway through our walk we came across this lovely view of the lake, framed between two stunted trees and with the dappled surface of the water reflecting the play of light and dark in the ominous clouds overhead.
So of course, it was out with the camera to take a quick photo before carrying on our way.
