First Light - Snowdonia, Wales, UK
« on: December 22, 2017, 11:08:14 am »

After a cold pre-dawn walk up to Llyn Llydaw (a lake in Snowdonia, North Wales), I positioned myself at a small frozen pool I had found when scouting the area the afternoon before.  Then it was a simple case of setting up and waiting for the light.  To be honest, the mass of cloud to the east meant I wasn’t really expecting anything, but you sometimes have to hope; and just for a few minutes, the first light of the day broke through the clouds and illuminated the peaks. 

Think it was worth the walk in the end.
