Bangor

Nice sunny day for a change!

Llyn Gwynant

Changeable weather on the Snowdon Horseshoe. It was a truly memorable day for me on this return visit to one of Snowdonia's finest routes. The day began cloudless, but as the morning developed convention cloud came swirling in a spectacular way, and an earlier image was an attmept to capture that. The summit of Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) unsurprisingly caught the cloud the most, and it really was thick up there, visibility down to a few yards. This shot is looking back towards the summit from the final rise in the horseshoe, the twin summit of Lliwedd which has the most vertiginous cliff-face. In the centre of the image you can make out the loose and scrabbly mess that is the Watkin Path, disappearing into the cloud.

Sunset.....obvs........

Watkin Path, Snowdonia

Overcast and windy according to the forecast......

Beautiful Snowdonia!

Another of my favourite places in Wales, not only for the spectacular scenery around Llyn Idwal or because the Ogwen cafe sells the best cheese and onion pasties and rocky road but because (and at nearly 50 years of age I apologise for this and I really shouldn't be so childish) the nice lady on google maps pronounces "Betws-y-Coed" - "Betis why Gohead" Sometimes I miss the junction on purpose so I have to turn around to hear it again....... I need to get out more :-)

Early morning panoramic

Another from a cold and gloomy, but very rewarding, day in Snowdonia. On a fine summer's day this place is swarming with people so it was a real treat to have it all to myself. This shot of the outflow from Llyn Idwal was taken from a little wooden foot-bridge that gets so much traffic that it would be impossible to get a sharp vibration-free image in the summer. Cold and gloomy has its advantages.

I love it when the weather forecast comes together!

Snowdonia National Park, Wales

Sunrise over Snowdon

I love the colours in the water here. Watkin Path, Snowdon

Watkin Path, Snowdon. There could be a few more in the series over the coming days......surely there must be a lighthouse shot soon I hear you cry..... Formatt-Hitech 0.6 & 0.3 soft nd grad, the 0.9 went for a little swim in the sea at Llandudno earlier that morning and was a touch minging.

One of the hardest places to photograph . But found a decent vantage point off Bangor Mountain

Two hikers look out over the landscape of Snowdonia, Wales on a minor-summit of Y Lliwedd, part of the Snowdon Horseshoe.

Boat house.

Just made it to this speck in the nick of time!

Sun or no sun.........

I'll get a sunrise here one day.........

Might be a while before we can visit again..........

The view from somewhere in-between Glyder Fawr and Glyder Fach I think.....might be a Half Man Half Biscuit lyric in there.......

well one of them........

Another from the trek round the Glyders

Snowdonia, I'm going to miss you for a while......

Reflections......that would make a change for me!

Nice wander around Llyn Idwal snapping away as the the sun join me.
