Creigiau r Dena 'Reflecting' on Llyn Ogwen, North West Wales - 30.3.2021

Now the Welsh COVID travel restrictions have been eased, I took advantage of yesterday's fine weather to explore two Snowdonia Mountain Lakes - pictured here Llyn Ogwen and nearby Llyn Idwal.

 

Llyn Ogwen is a ribbon lake lying alongside the A5 road between two Snowdonia Mountain Ranges - the Carneddau to the left of the image and the Glyderau to the right. It's a very shallow glacial lake with a maximum depth of only a little over 3 metres.

 

Took this Mid Afternoon shot in glaring sunlight with a wide angle lens and a polarising filter from the lake's Western shoreline. Its Eastern shoreline is overshadowed by the dominant crag Creigiau r Dena 500m (1,640 ft) - reflected here.

 

Whilst shooting, a Bat flew out from a crevice in the nearby right hand rocks circling above the darkened water area. Nature certainly is full of surprises!
