The Great Orme

[Blodyn]

As a change from stone animals, here are some real ones.

There are half a dozen cows with calves at Pink Farm - the calves are so sweet at this age.

There were amazing views from the Great Orme summit this evening.  I wasn't planning to go right up to the summit but I could see the summit complex emerging from the mist and the sun breaking through, so I thought it might be worth the detour.  I'm so glad that I made the effort.

How's about a picture of a sunrise one of these days?  Or doesn't anyone get up early enough?   
 

[Blodyn]

Thanks, Snowcap.

Yorkie, for some reason I see more sunrises in winter than in summer!

Stunning pictures......planning to capture a few views next week. Is the west shore best for sunsets ?

Yes.

One small problem to my suggestion - West Shore is absolutely useless for taking shots of sunrises!   
Guess where this one was taken - OK - Portugal!   

[Blodyn]

Emma, thanks for your comments.  Hope you have a lovely holiday and see some West Shore sunsets.     If you want to take up Yorkie's suggestion of sunrises, you'd better try North Shore. 

Nice photos, DaveR and Yorkie.

We just had a drive around the Marine Drive and about a quarter of a mile from the start of the two way section an idiot was driving a small white van towards me!  I honked the horn at it And it almost stopped by me, I shouted it's one way here!! A completely blank look on the cretin's face and it carried on, no time to get the reg plate, look for a small white van with various stickers on it driven by someone unable to see large no entry signs!  :rage: where are the police when you need them?

[Fester]

Well, you did say it was a two way section!   

[Merddin Emrys]

No, we were in the one way section, going the right way.

It's fairly common at this time of the year. Roughly five vehicles a day go the wrong way round the drive. A lot has to do with overgrown signage, fading road markings and folks who enter the drive from the Orme car parks at the half way point, and turn right instead of left. The worst case I saw, however, was a coach - a full 53 seater - that had simply 'got lost' according to the driver. Cyclists are by far and away the biggest risk, though, as they drive down the drive the wrong way, even though they know it's the wrong way.
