The story behind this image

This shot was taken during autumn while climbing up the Watkin Path to the top of Snowdon in North Wales.

I especially like the colour palette of blacks, whites and yellows in these images, together with the way the flowing water both frames and emphasises the rocks in the stream.

An overcast day and a polarising filter help to keep glare at bay and enhance the autumn colours.
