Llyn Idwal - 30.3.2021

Now the Welsh COVID travel restrictions have been eased, I took advantage of last Tuesday's fine weather to explore two Mountain Lakes in the Snowdonia National Park, North West Wales - Llyn Idwal (pictured here) and nearby Llyn Ogwen.

 

Took this Mid-Morning shot of the lake, from its Northern Shoreline, three quarter's of one hour later after leaving the falls half a mile distant and roughly 500ft lower - with a tripod using a Cannon EFS 10-18mm lens at 18mm with polarising and neutral density filters.

 

From the East and left to right, firstly are the 400ft low-angled Idwal Slabs (frequented by rock climbers). Next and still in shadow, the thin white line of the Devil's Appendix Waterfall falling through the crags of Clogwyn y Geifr. By enlarging the image you'll have a better view of this.

 

Pictured centre is the Devil's Kitchen a crag below Glyder Fawr 1,001m (3,284ft), out of shot, the highest peak in the Glyderau Mountain Range and finally the peak, far right, is Y Garn 947m (2,598 ft).
