Golygfa I lawr at Gwm Idwal o lethrau Pen yr Ole Wen.
View down to Cwm Idwal from the slopes of Pen yr Ole Wen.
This gate was designed by Joseph Samuel Roberts and made by Dylan Parry the blacksmith at the North Wales slate museum. The gate design is copied from the iconic valley behind it. Take a minute to feel the contours of the gate before you head up to Cwm Idwal.
Nestled at the foot of Snowdon in Snowdonia, the Snowdon Mountain Railway passes close to this Cwm before heading up to Wales' highest peak. Shot from Elider Fawr, this image was shot from one of the potential locations for my afternoon hikes that I conduct as an extra option for people attending my workshops.

Should have probably cropped this tighter at the top. Mynydd Tal-y-mignedd, Trum y Ddysgl and Mynydd Drws-y-Coed on the horizon.
Today at Cwm Idwal, heavy cloud lingering over the summit of Pen Yr Ole Wen made this view rather special.
Craig Cwm Sere connects Pen y Fan and Cribyn (the central peak). Its a very popular route for walkers and from Pen Y fan the view of the ridge line is excellent.
The colours of these altocumulus just before sunrise were absolutely fantastic. I was jumping for joy when they started to glow and I knew I was in for something special. Around sunrise the light changes dramatically. With the sun below the horizon in this image the snow takes on the blue of the sky above. Colour contrast is something I constantly seek in my photography (I could never shoot Black and White!) and never is it better than under a sky like this.

We had a wonderful week of exploring Mid Wales and the Cambrian mountains during half-term. The weather was suitable for the Celtic rainforest. On our last day we walked around Cwm Rhaeadr, the valley of the waterfall, just 5 min from our secluded holiday cottage. This is one of the many little waterfalls tumbling down into the valley. The larger waterfall was out of our reach but can be seen from the walk.
Cwm Ratgoed is a remote valley near the former slate mining village of Aberllefenni. Due to its remoteness, all the houses in this valley are 'off grid' with no mains water or electricity.
Took a walk down from Pen y Fan to see the fairies at Llyn Cwm Llwch. Non there unfortunately, but folk-law says that they come out from a magic door that appears from thin air. This pano is stitched from 7 images and a polariser.
