The story behind this image

At the end of a fantastic, if very windy day, exploring Snowdonia, Liz and I decided to call in at Llyn Mymbyr to watch the sun setting behing the Snowdon Horseshoe out to the west.

Well we weren't disappointed, with what I would call a soft sunset, with light clouds diffusing the direct light from the sun into a glowing canopy that reflected off the surface of the lake.

We stayed till well after the sun had set, watching as the twilight slowly faded from the sky before we made our way home, tired but happy at having witnessed such a fine example of God's beauty and grace.
