Bridge and mountain #1

Wooden bridge and Tryfan, Glyderau, Snowdonia

The story behind this image

I've taken many, many photos from this exact spot at the start of the path that leads to Llyn Idwal and the Devil's Kitchen in Snowdonia, but this is my favourite so far.

I love the brooding menace of the storm clouds over Tryfan in the background, the textures in the knarly old bridge and the stone path that leads the eye from foreground to background.

This particular image is a blend of normal and HDR (high dynamic range) versions of the same shot. This was done in order to bring out the texture in the clouds and the bridge.
