The story behind this image

I found this lovely little waterfall while climbing the Watkin Path up Snowdon in North Wales one crisp winter's day.

The Watkin Path is a visual delight as it follows the path of this stream and run of waterfalls for quite a bit of its length. In summer you can cool your sweaty feet off in it, but I wasn't tempted on this occasion!

Below freezing temperatures and running water make for some lovely compositions and juxtapositioning of tones and colours, as was the case here.
