This is the train that takes you to the top of snowdon, But its much better to walk then go for your tea at pete's eats in Llanberis.

a great shot, the back lighting works well with the steam- adds to the scene. I agree- its on foot or nowt.

Interesting, Alun, and I agree, walking is better... though we don't do tea very well here... we sweeten it up real good and pour it over ice!

@Earnest: Thanks Earnest, Im sorry when i say tea i mean evening meal which we call tea time. But yours sounds very nice.

Somehow, this really captures the moment . . I think because there is no embellishment : just the basics.
