Liverpool, UK
Perpetual beginner photographer. I post a mix of city and nature photos particularly of Liverpool and Anglesey (Ynys Môn).
I'm also attempting to learn Welsh. Dw i'n dysgu Cymraeg
I'll be setting off for Ynys Môn in a bit and can't wait to hit that section on the A55! I love the drive to the island

I definitely could be fitter, haha. I went up the easy path too, but it was still quite steep in places. The views are amazing. I can see some other distant hills and mountains looking towards the Lake District in other photos. I need to try identify them.

I'd like to try one day but only when I'm confident that I'm properly ready. I'll go with someone a lot more experienced, too!

I love this little street. I wish there were a lot more like it in the city centre.

That looks lovely. I'll have to visit

I don't really have any experience with climbing mountains like it so I'd need to work up to it to give it the respect it deserves. It's something to work up to though!

It's mind boggling. The recent proposals for the site were dire, however, so I hope something better is brought forward eventually.

Great shot! You really do have to lean back to get a good view. I might lie down next time, haha

Yeah, I think it is! This was the wider shot I posted earlier and a simulated view from South Stack on Anglesey where I took the pic

Over the past few months I've taken quite a few pictures that I just haven't got around to looking at properly. Here's one that I took from South Stack, Anglesey. The Wicklow Mountains in Ireland from across the Irish Sea.

That's lovely. I've been visiting the island since I was a kid. Over 30 years now, and I still love it.

I do something similar as I'm driving in down the road towards Moelfre 😆

I did get those two, haha. Time to learn some more Welsh astronomy terms, I think!

Great pics in a stunning setting!

I'm also slightly embarrassed for not connecting the Welsh names of the days of the week to the planets sooner. I mean, I picked up on dydd Sadwrn, but that's pretty obvious.

When i'm on Anglesey, I like to walk to Lligwy beach and use the MarineTraffic app to see where all the ships waiting to go into Liverpool have come from 😁

Wow, thats cool! You've processed them very well, which is a skill in itself.

I'm in a similar situation, small scope, light pollution, and bright summer nights, haha. Still, it'll be nice to give it another try.

I'm sure you'll get back into it quickly. I never got anything as good as what you did. The pictures in your pinned post are stunning!

I've just started a similar process. It's been a couple of years since I last tried, but I've got the urge again!
January 13, 2025 at 7:47 PM
Not sure how you'd express that in a Marge potato meme, but I'd love to see someone try!
