Subtle Shades of Sunrise/Arlliwiau Ysgafn GwawrioA snow covered Snowdon is tinted pink by the rising sun, the pastel shades continuing into Llyn Llydaw.Y Wyddfa wedi ei gorchuddio ag eira mewn arlliw binc a roddwyd gan yr haul wrth iddo codi, parhaodd y lliwiau ysgafn ar wyneb Llyn Llydaw. |
Dusky PinkAs the sun sets, the pinks of dusk settle behind Foel Goch, viewed here from the Rhyd Ddu path on Snowdon. |

Afternoon DelightLooking down Nant Colwyn towards Moel Hebog from Y Garn as the sun decends on this winter afternoon. |
Through the CloudThe view towards the Moelwyn from Craig Gyfynys as low cloud and mist combine, after overnight snowfall, to restrict the visibility. |

SoloThis lone tree sits on the eastern shore of Llyn Dinas. Here the warm light of early morning contrasts with the cool stark white of snow. |
IcedHigh wind and freezing temperatures have caused water, blown from the surface of Llyn Cwmystradllyn, to freeze on the grass and sedges on the shore, before freezing itself. Being close to the sea, the valley snow has melted but Moel Ddu, (Black Mount), defies its name and remains snowcapped. |

Going NowhereThese three boats, used for fishing on Llyn-y-Dywarchen, are normally removed from the water before the winter freeze. Here they are trapped by the ice, and photographed in the light of the setting sun which lifts the image with splashes of colour. |
Light on the TraethDespite the cloud cover and snow showers parading over Cnicht, the light over the sea, onto Traeth Mawr, and through the snow towards Moel Ddu made an impressive display. |

Snow WallAs the next snowfall approaches, it completely blocks the view from Crib Goch towards the Glyder. Time to put the camera away! |
Fire and IceA snowcovered Snowdon is set on fire by the setting sun in complete contrast to the frozen shaded waters of Llyn y Dywarchen |

Crib Goch and Llanberis PassMorning sun illuminates Crib Goch but leaves depths of the Llanberis pass in shade. |

First Touch, CricciethAs the rising sun crests the distant horizon, the first warming touches of light lift the snow on hillside and the tower of castle from shade. |
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. |

Fading LightFrom the disused Foel-Gron Quarry, I had set out with high hopes of catching a snowy sunset, but as the snow showers closed in once more, the realisation that my son, (who, in his deluded and cold state, believes that snow should only be photographed when the sun is shining), would soon run out of patience, dawned. |
Dulyn RockDespite the gale force winds, the blue waters of Llyn Cwm Dulyn look beautiful against the backdrop of Garnedd Goch and Craig Cwm Dulyn. |

 |
Above the MistsWith a sea mist pulsing inland, Criccieth castle stands tall. |
Sugar CoatedWith snow covering Tryfan and lying in patches on the frozen surface of Llyn Bochlyd like sprinkled icing sugar, the blue sky and strong sunlight belie the freezing conditions which were much more evident once the cloud decended. |

Gribin ViewCloud starts to form on the Glyder and here the summit of Y Garn is hidden from sight and shortly after the entire scene was lost, but not before I had chance to savour the view from the top of the Gribin Facet over Llyn Idwal and down the length of Nant Francon. |
