Porthmadog embankment and station with Taliesin

very nice shot! greetings from bulgaria, alex

Thanks Alex, lucky the wind was blowing the right way!! I'd love to see a train like this in the snow like you have in your pictures! You take some very nice ones too!

Good luck Peter

Hi Peter another fantastic shot taken on the Cob .. and another Y* to the collection

steve

Yes Peter this is a great shot taken on the Cob at Porthmadog i have been here a couple of times but did'nt get anything as good as this :))

steve

Thanks Steve,

Luck of the draw with the weather. Cold clear day, (last day of December) and wind blowing from the north. Usually it blows the other way.

Let me know next time your'e coming!

Best Wishes Peter

Hi peter yes really must visit again its been too long .. and this is what i mean about my poor effort compaired to yours ( just click the blue link ) ONE OF MY EFFORTS

steve

Hi Steve, Thanks for complement, but one major difference here which is nothing to do with photography. I am in Porthmadog area a lot, which means that by laws of averages I'm going to be there on more good days than someone simply having a short holiday there. I climbed Snowdon last autumn, and only got one decent picture (No 15237140, "Crib Goch from Snowdon"). I climbed Cnicht earlier this year and got nothing decent (too misty). Your results from the mountains are much better than mine. You do a lot more walking than I do (7 Ben Nevis easily outranks 4 Snowdon). Nice thing about Panoramio is that we all live in different places, which gives us all different opportunities, which we can share.

In all honesty, this picture was luck. I went to the same place a couple of weeks ago, on a bright sunlit day, and this time the picture didn't work at all, simply because the smoke was blowing the opposite way.

Best Wishes Peter

Hi Peter yes what you say hits the nail on the head .. i live in lincolnshire one of the flattest parts of U.K so have to travel for my mountain fix :))

steve

Greetings from Poland

Hi Peter I love how the smoke is belching to one side of this steam engine, and you can tell this is a Welsh town it's passing through, I'd love to take shots like this, so I'm going to start, Congratulations for your position in the NPC, thank you for the inspiration;))

Warm Wishes, Karen.

Karen, Isabelle, Steve, Alan, and everyone else..
