Into the cloud. by gamelee

Into the cloud.

On my bucket list was, walk up to the summit of Mount Snowdon and back down. I've now done it, but unfortunately at the summit the cloud cover was very thick and a few metres was about as far as you could see. This photo was taken at about 900 metres up, you may be able to make out some other walkers on their way up. It was a challenging walk 15 miles from start to finish on my own, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Snowdon is the highest mountain in Wales, at an elevation of 1,085 metres (3,560 ft) above sea level, and the highest point in the British Isles.

This is beautiful, Lee. I love the way the mist softens the rocks, and I like the striations in the stone. Then all that contrasts with the foreground. So well done.

This walks looks a little bleak in these higher altitudes. It looks like a tough walk - well done for getting there and back.
