"LEACHES ~ LLYWN CWM LLWCH"

    EXPLORE # 96 30.06.09

    Wade into the lake to get the low angle near a rock and what was in the lake black leaches lots of them so only one thing for it RUN out of the water !!!!

    yep a grown man in a superman T Shirt runs from little leaches aaaaaaaaargh !!!

    Rare i crop a photo but it was difficult down here very windy and the light soon disappeared due to us being 1000 feet below the peaks of Pen y fan.

    Its taken me hours to sort this photo out for posting .

    on black here no black leaches its safe

      You managed to capture that gorgeous light too then did you?

      Everything that could go wrong went wrong for me, batteries died, CF card full etc etc.

      Oh well, looks like I have a reason to go back!

      Beautiful image and well worth your close run in with the leeches (if it's any consolation, I probably would have ran too!!).

      The foreground and back drop look wicked here mate. At this size though it's hard to pick out the water.

    17. Mozzer502 (35 months ago | reply)

      superb as always

    18. freeskiing (35 months ago | reply)

      It's a beautiful image with such a range of colour and depth to it. Hope you escaped leech free. I picked out a few sensor spots in the top left but I'm sure you know about them already.

    19. Steve Martin (RecordedImage) (35 months ago | reply)

      impressive; even if you bravely ran away from the leeches :)
