The boathouse

A small boathouse on a beautifully calm and misty morning at Llyn Dinas in Snowdonia national park, North Wales.

We came upon this scene purely by chance, having risen early and crawled out of our tent into the cold pre-dawn air we ventured out with the intention of taking pictures of the first rays of the sun hitting the summit of Mount Snowdon. We got there to find a heavy blanket of low cloud covering the mountain top which looked unlikely to lift in time, so we drove on desperately looking for a good alternative location to make use of the early light before the sun rose too high in the sky.

Having found this spot just in time, and without any planning involved, a hasty set of pictures gave the disappointing start to the day a happy ending.
