A Lighting on the Summit, Snowdon

"A momentary glimpse of the summit of Snowdon in cloudy, wintry weather. My brother Simon and I were on Moel Eilio enjoying the fresh snow and looking across to Yr Wyddfa (to give Snowdon its proper name) but the last few hundred feet were in persistent cloud. We had given up standing around in the bitter cold in the hope of seeing the peak and had started to make our way back down Moel Eilio when, suddenly, the summit just cleared and brilliant, low, winter sunshine bathed the white hillsides in crisp, clean light. Perhaps just ten minutes later the summit was once again shrouded in dark winter cloud. When you study large prints I make from this image you can clearly see walkers standing on the summit cairn"

Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) - 1,085 m (3,560 ft), the highest mountain in Wales, and the highest point in the British Isles outside Scotland. With a café at it's summit, it's also the highest café in the UK. A railway takes some visitors to the summit.
