Maen Llwyd (Denbighshire) submitted by TimPrevett : Some rather attractive lichen on Maen Llwyd. Fireweed to the rear obscure many views in the forest during August. The Bryn Beddau Stone Circle is less than 200 metres in that direction (not that that was clear to me on this visit). (Vote or comment on this photo)
