Morning mist, Llynnau Mymbyr - a photo on Flickriver

            Llynnau Mymbyr in a shroud of mist being burnt off by the sun with the early signs of Autumn colour.

Woke up this morning and made my way down to Llynnau Mymbyr for sunrise. Very cold start at just 1 degree but the sun soon rose high enough to begin burning the mist off.  

I'd missed it the day before trying to get a shot of the rowing boats at Llyn Nantle which must've been the only lake that wasn't covered in mist. The farmer has put a new sign on the gate and some freshly installed barb wire.

I was just about to leave when a young girl said there is a hole in the wall further up and to follow her. Turns out she was actually 23 and worked as a stroke nurse at Bangor Hospital. On her days off she jumps in her car and goes off exploring, parks up and just walks, often covering 20+ miles each day and wild camps. Her rucksack was bigger than her and I made us a coffee and put the world to rights for an hour or so. 

Topics covered included social media and mental health and the pressures of displaying a person who isn't really who you are, Instagram especially and the toxic cesspit of Twitter, the snowflake generation, Covid in the community, cultural differences of various ethnic groups, how we can't function until the first coffee of the day and whether Joe Root is too nice to be England cricket captain. The BBC, the right to roam and whether Jetboils are over priced for what the are.

I usually avoid speaking to anyone when out and about but of late I've found the company a pleasant distraction. If she is what the snowflake generation are like we are in safe hands.
