Frosty dawn.

A bright but frosty start on my walk today. The sheep are getting some warmth from the sun.

Entrance to the third mine. Still frost on the ground.

Some mining equipment left behind.

Entrance to the second mine.

The entrance. Very dark in here so it's flash and manual focus.

Rounding the bend and it's pitch black.

Making my way back out.

Walk to Bryn Glas slate mine.

Did this walk last week, the sun was shinning but the wind was blowing hard and it was freezing!

An old ruin caught in the morning sun.

The waste slate from the mine comes into view.

Looking down towards the distant valley. 

Looking towards the mountains on the other side of the valley.

On this particular day last week I had planned a walk in the hills, however, by the time I got to my destination there was thick fog with the occasional heavy shower. Having driven quite some way I decided to get some shots of the river instead.

River rushing off the moor.

Foggy start.

Newborn lamb...Snowdrops..

Newborn lamb enjoying the morning sun, taken on my walk this morning, sunshine and blue sky made a nice change.

Also from today's walk, snowdrops caught in the sunrise.
