'Long Shadow' on Moelfre Uchaf
Pictured is the Triangulation Point on the summit of Moelfre Uchaf 396m (1,300ft) taken at 13.00pm on Saturday 9th January 2021 - three weeks after the Winter Solstice (Tuesday 21st December 2020) when the sun is at its lowest elevation in the sky.
Although the sun has now reached is highest point of the day it is still very low to my immediate left - casting this lengthening shadow as it gets even lower.
In the distance we see the various mountain ranges of the Snowdonia National Park - so aptly named on this snowy occasion!
The isolated peak, far left, is Moel Siabod 872m (2,860ft), the highest of the Moelwyns whose remainder peaks follow. Centre is the Snowdon Horseshoe 1,085m (3,560ft), next the Glyderrau 1,001m (3,284ft) and finally the Carneddau 1,044m (3,425ft) Mountain ranges.
