Simply RedAs the sun rose and cast its warmth, at its height it ignited the cliffs of Simdde Ddu and Yr Castell on the eastern flanks of Arenig Fawr in a fierce red.

BlackpoolHigh up on the flanks of Cwm Teigl sits this pool in the centre of marshland, which I managed to find a way through to, drawn by the colour of the surrounding grasses, highlighted here by a glimmer of sunlight. Carreg Y Frân sits dark and threatening in the background. |
Living ThatchThe weight of the branches from this tree have eventually forced the rotting roof timbers in this derelict cottage to give way. |

Snow Shower, Llyn DulynFrom a sheltered spot a long exposure masks the effect of the howling winds, the sun illuminates the hillside and snow tries to hide the view as they throw themselves into Cwm Dulyn simulataneously. |
