Funnily enough, I thought that this morning was going to be a bit of a washout, and wasn’t really bothered about getting the shots off the camera when I got back.  Luckily I did, and it turned out I really surprised myself.  I was really happy with the selection of shots above…

An HDR shot captured in the Brecon Beacons.  I couldn’t work out whether this tree was long-dead or just dormant for the winter.  The environment here can be so harsh, and makes for some bleakly beautiful landscapes.

A stunning afternoon on the Blorenge, a mountain near Blaenavon.  I was fascinated by this sign with its one-way-to-cold, one-way-to-warm suggestion, (and no, I didn’t knock the icicles off one side for dramatic effect!).  With the vast range of tones in this shot, I had to resort to HDR to make it look as it did to me when I was there.  There were some amazing ice formations around this afternoon, but none caught my eye as much as this one.  Below are my two favourite shots of the day.
