Rock and Man #1

Man on a rock, Glyderau mountains, Snowdonia, North Wales

The story behind this image

If you want to see surrealist landscape at its finest then a lung busting climb up to the peaks of the Glyderau in North Wales Snowdonia National Park is highly recommended.

My son Andy accompanied me on one such excursion on a hazy day in the height of summer, and we spent a very enjoyable few hours wandering around admiring the other-worldly rock formations, with crazy upthrusting fingers of granite haphazardly scattered around the landscape.

Andy insisted on climbing this one for a photo, but he doesn't look too comfortable to me!
