Well, 9:30pm on the water to be exact but it started getting dark and even with my torch I didn’t want to risk going down a hole. I didn’t get any night time pictures, but I did get an okay sunset. This was a little earlier, facing east, where I saw the clouds over the mountains that I thought might give way to some rain later in the night. Very dramatic and forboding. As things got darker, some lights caught my eye on the eastern shore. With my naked eye I couldn’t see what they were for, but my phone’s camera revealed a castle. Turns out this is Harlech Castle, a place I visited later in the holiday. I was surprised so see it from here, and to see it so (relatively) intact. To the west was Criccieth, and on the left there you can see the associated castle on the highground. It was quite speldid with the last remnants of the red sky at it’s back. At max zoom I still couldn’t figure out what this light was coming from. It had looked like a car but not with only one super-powerful headlight, surely? Either way, I credit this picture for the name of the post: “Midnight on the Water.” Those are lyrics from Can’t Get It Out Of My Head, by the Electric Light Orchestra. The song is about a lonely man by the sea who sees a woman rise from it upon a silver light, and coping with the mundankty of life that follows after his extraudenary experience.
