Nice one Blodyn! Or should I say "nice two"! It is true to say it has been quite a pleasant morning for time of year.

Contrast to yesterday morning when the upper part of the Gt Orme was shrouded in cloud while the lower was not.

I just had a short walk from the Toll House up a track by Ogof Arth and took a few photos of the cave and the views from up there.  The views were stunning today because of the clear visibility.

Loved your incredibly clear photos from today Hugo.
What a beautiful day it has been.
I bet the sunset down there will be fantastic this evening.

Thanks Hollins, it was so nice today I just wish that I could have walked all around the Orme again but as I'd been on the Little Orme before I simply ran out of time.
There's always tomorrow though.    $good$

The last time I fancied walking round The Great Orme twice.... was just before I did it ONCE!

Bri, how do you do things like Donald?  He is not on the menu of options..............  Just seen how to do it, well I never, not noticed the (more) button before.

Lovely photos, Hugo. 

Hollins, the sunset was rather spoilt by low cloud in the west but it did look quite nice through the trees in Haulfre Gardens. 

Fester, I'm sure a couple of laps around the Orme will help your diet along - how's it going, by the way?!  ;D

Thanks Blodyn,
Diet is going very badly.... very badly indeed.
I fell off the wagon yesterday, purely the fault of Dave R, and the excellence of the FatCat bar menu.

But also, the Xmas choccies are still prevalent in the house... I asked people not to by me any.
They chose to ignore me,  and I in turn, cannot ignore them.

Thanks, Hollins.  I find it hard to resist photographing a tree silhouetted against the sky, so here's another one from the Orme this morning.  It's not such an impressive tree (well, more of a bush really) but it's quite an interesting shape.  Here's a morning view from the Orme, as well.

Fester, I'm very sorry to hear about circumstances and DaveR conspiring to derail your diet.   :(  If you want to get rid of some of those chocolates I could help you out ...  ;D

Here are some ice patterns on one of the flat tombstones at St. Tudno's this morning.
