Capel Curig Walk

Capel Curig, within Snowdonia national park, was the final place visited on our short break to North Wales. The weather again was not great, mainly rain and heavy at times. The good thing about the route we followed was that it wasn’t too difficult and went through woodlands, providing some respite from the weather and a few photo opportunities. On a good day you are meant to get good views of the surrounding countryside, not on this day

I have used HDR or black & white to provide some lift & punch. All shot with the Olympus OM-D EM-5 DSLR & Olympus Digital 17mm f1.8.

A bridge across the river, at the mid point of the walk, signalling the start of the return journey to Capel Curig.

and finally, for one time only as far as I remember, there was a brief glimpse of some sunlight before the rain returned.
