Moel Eilio

I’ve just returned to Wales, and over the weekend I headed out, up to Moel Eilio as I haven’t been up there for a few months now. The sun was blasting, and there was only a few other people up at the top, who ran back down as quickly as they arrived, so I had the whole mountain to myself.

As it was around midday, the lighting wasn’t perfect, but I did manage to take a couple of panoramas of the view towards Snowdon.

Eryri / Snowdonia

Snowdon from Moel Eilio

Moel Eilio is located just North West from Snowdon itself, so the view is always pleasant, and is tagged at 726m high.

A couple from Snowdonia

Here’s a couple more old photographs that I’ve just re-visited, as I love playing around in Lightroom. The first is take a couple years back coming down Yr Aran, with Bwlch Cwm Llan and the Snowdonia Quarries in the background, and the second I took while taking a nice gentle drive around Snowdon one evening, looking down Pen Y Pass, with the sun setting over Llanberis down the Valley.

Ynys Enlli – Pen Llyn

Ynys Enlli

This image was taken way back in 2008. I was shifting through my iPhoto the other day and came across it, and because I haven’t really tested out my new Adobe Lightroom, I decided to have a play with the image. I’m really happy with the mood of the image, as it shows the vast-ness of the ocean, and the lovely light behind the clouds, yet keeping the unmistakable Ynys Enlli (Bardsey Island) silhouette, a striking image against the sea.

Schauinsland Sunrise

Schauinsland Sunrise

Schauinsland is a hill, located to the South East of Freiburg, with an elevation of 1,284 m. At the beginning of the week, I was dropping off my girlfriend at work for around 7am, so I decided to go up the Hill to try and capture the sunrising behind Felberg – which his biggest hill here in the Black Forest. It was a lovely morning, not a soul was around – except for a curious wee fox.

Alps on the Horizon

On the images above, the Swiss Alps can be seen on the horizon, and the moon setting behind me as I watched the sunset.
