@Anthony Lambert: See there is a mountain there, I have just been on the webcam for snowdon not one cloud, could the folks be lucky?
Illuci from Hurdegaryp, Netherlands
Lovely view! Is this where Lord Snowdon comes from? Nice subdivision in blue and green, with the lake and mountain in-between. The weather is not very Scottish :). Maybe the goats are looking for a nice lonesome gentleman :).

@Illuci: No Its not where Lord Snowdon's from, And the weather isn't very Scottish because its in Wales :) Thanks very much Illuci

Great, great these goats before with this beautiful landscape behind, as an image of a storybook for children

Andres Abon from Plano, United States
Yes, I agree. The lake, the mountains, the green grass, the goats, make a very good combination. And the lighting is great.

I love it. I think the goat on the right is asking the one in the middle. "Are ya gonna charge him, are ya, are ya"? Kidding aside this is a beautiful capture of the mountain, the grasses and the billy goats.

@Marion: Thank you Marion

Great angle Alun, the low down to the grass perspective enhances both the goats and mighty Snowdon.

WOW; I can't say enough about all the things I love about this image. You must've been crawling in the grass. I feel like I'm right there with you. Wonderful job.

Alun - the perspective you chose here would appear to be threatening to life and limb. Fortunately, you survived and the image is worthy of the risk. A wonderful capture.

@Fogguy: Very nice comment Fogguy
Graham Russon from Cape Town, South Africa

I thought you were talking about the photographer and was thinking he could use a shave.
12 Jun 2008 3:15pm
@Twelvebit: I normally do need a shave, ;)
Evelyn from New Milford, United States
