'Jaw dropping', 'gob smacking' and any other expression of amazement you can think up just won't quite do justice to the amazing abandoned slate quarry at Dinorwig in the Snowdonia National Park, North Wales.
My wife Liz and I took a hike through this other-worldly landscape on a day of 'active' weather in July 2016, open mouthed at the views laid out before us.
With patches of stormy cloud shadow and sunlight playing over the huge abandoned quarry, mountains of Snowdonia and Llyn Peris, the bottom half of the 'Electric Mountain' pumped storage hydro electric scheme, of course I had to shoot half an hours worth of stills to make this time lapse video, taking a welcome rest while the camera clicked away every two seconds.
