Winter Snowdon

The Snowdon Horseshoe in Winter Raiment

I have always loved this view of The Snowdon Horseshoe from the Royal Bridge at Capel Curig and across the beautiful waters of the Llynnau Mymbyr. Indeed, there are times when I have almost taken up residence here and I freely admit that this is probably my favourite viewpoint of all time.

At first light I was not sure how things would develop as cloud still covered the major summits. However, as the sun rose, the warmth and light of a new day slowly lifted the cloud to reveal this most wonderful scene of ‘Winter Snowdon’. Once again working with the Fuji GX617 Panoramic camera with its 300mm lens, the composition was perfect, with just enough room in the vertical plane to capture the last vestige of cloud as it finally lifted from the very summit of Snowdon.
