Lyn Lydaw Revisited, a photo from Gwynedd, Wales

I'm offering a change now from my Seychelles series and going back to a visit to Snowdonia, North Wales. This picture was taken on the descent from mount snowdon. There is nothing much else to say about it except, here you go Martin, I hope you like it.

Hello James - A superb view from Snowdonia with excellent detail and depth to the shot. I like the cloud formation and the shadows cast on the mountains and water. Best regards Rosemary

Hello James,
I really enjoy this for its lovely light, gentle colours and the great POV. The cloudy sky is interesting and suits the mood of the shot. Nice to see the little mountain stream coming in on the diaganol. Beautiful landscape well captured.
Regards, Ann

Hello James

An excellent landscape photo. Great sky and play of light and shadow. I like the way the contours of the mountains wrap around the little lake.

Best wishes

I do like it ! Like your other pictures, this brings back many happy memories, though in truth in all the times I have been up and down here, I don't ever recall such sunshine ! Not that I want to put off other readers from visiting ! My only ascent in the sun ( and snow as it happens ) was up the Watkin's Path ! Are the screes still there twixt the upper path and Glaslyn ?
This is a great picture showing Snowdon off to great advantage, with some very accurate colouring to the hillsides and the lake. The Big Blue bits I can't comment on, never seen them before !!
all the best,
Martin

Hello, John,
Good presentation of Snowdonia ))) fine colours and good sharpness. But the Seychelles looks more interesting, than this cool north landscape.

Hi James,
After all the tropical images from Seychelles, now this somewhat cold and cloudy and look like windy too judging from the pattern on the lake. Such a different climate, it would take some time to get use to. A very nice POV and composition as the stream lead us down the lake nesttles within this hills. The cloudy sky with patches of blue showing through adds some dramar to this compostion. Very nicely mange light and color comes through naturally.

Hi James

This is amazing. Your high POV demonstrates perfectly the wild beauty of this region. Wow, and what a depth of field combined with superb sharpness and flawless light management. Great job, I could look at this for hours.

Have a great weekend
