Sion a Siân (Adam and Eve) Stones
Sion a Siân (Adam and Eve) Stones submitted by HarryTwenty : Sunrise over the Ogwen valley. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Two natural monoliths at the summit of Tryfan (3,010 ft above sea level) known locally as Sion a Siân (aka Adam and Eve). The rocks are approx. 3m high and 1.2m apart. People who make the jump from one rock to another are said to gain the Freedom of Tryfan. In Arthurian legend Tryfan is said to be the final resting place of Sir Bedivere (Bedwyr)

From the valley to the NE the two stones resemble two human figures.

Note: A fantastic series of photos by HarryTwenty capturing the summer solstice sunrise 2023

Spectacular photos, well done.

Did you walk up that morning or the day before and overnight it on the summit?

    Thanks GL.
    I climbed up on the evening of the 20th and slept out on the mountain (took the kit up with me), that gave me a couple of hours to explore the summit and get to know the place before dark so I knew where to put myself in the morning. Whether you get a clear view or low cloud the following day is up to the gods : )

      Mighty work. You don't get photos like that by chance unless you're very lucky.
      Your hard work and planning paid off. Great when a plan comes together.

        No luck involved with this GL, had to work hard to be given these - I didn't get a lot of sleep that night but was too determined to give in easily. Paid off nicely though : )
