The story behind this image

I found this little waterfall while walking along the path that leads from Llyn Idwal to the Devil's Kitchen in Snowdonia, North Wales.

Quite often it's the little details that capture the essence of a place, rather than the typical grand scenic photo we all love to take.

To me the rocks, colours and composition of the image all suggest North Wales on a soft, overcast day, with the promise of a cup of tea and scone at the end of the hike.
