The story behind this image

It's a strenuous climb up from Llyn Ogwen, past Llyn Idwal and on up the Devil's Kitchen to the peaks of Snowdonia's Glyderau range high above, especially if you're lugging a camera bag full of lenses and bottles of water.

So I was very glad to take a break, look back at the view to Pen Yr Olwen, and have a chuckle at the couple enjoying a bit of sunbathing on one of the rocky outcrops that form most of the geology of this area.

Or perhaps they were laughing at me, sweating and grunting under my heavy load!
