Beddgelert, Snowdonia · **1 Like**

Some images taken from and around the beautiful village of Beddgelert, located within the Snowdonia National Park.
The lake is called Llyn Dinas (Dinas Lake), and is associated with the legend of King Arthur

"Legend states the lake to have been the site of a battle between Owein, one of Arthur's greatest warriors, and a giant. According to legend, Vortigern is said to have hidden the throne of Britain beneath a great stone by Llyn Dinas"

Very nice shots all, my favorites are the first and last. The last two could almost be watercolors ( HDR ? ) anyway great work!

How stunningly beautiful these are. They are all standouts. Beautifully composed. Thanks for sharing them.

That last one is awesome! Excellent composition and processing. The colors really pop.

Great shots, 5 & 8 really grab me, the little circle of blue sky and the composition in 5 and 8 is just postcard perfect!

Thanks jaytee, no HDR work on any (all down to the amazing sensor in the K5 and Lightroom 4.1).

Being an angler this sure looks like heaven to me! Wonderful photo's.

Very nice... looks like where I live, accept not being in the old country, we have no cute stone "cottages" or old stone bridges. And our legends from the people who lived here in Arthur's time, are long forgotten. It's a poor people who don't know the legends of the country they live in.

Thanks for posting.

Thanks Fries, not sure about the lake, but the river is popular for salmon and sea trout fishing.
