Lone Tree

Llyn Padarn,

The Lone Tree stands in the shallow waters of Llyn Padarn near Llanberis, framed by the mountains of Eryri National Park.

Llyn Padarn is a glacial lake in Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, lying beneath the mountains that surround Llanberis. The lake has long been associated with the area’s slate mining heritage and is one of the best-known landscapes in north Wales.

Notes

The first light of day illuminated pink clouds above the mountains, while the still waters of Llyn Padarn reflected the colours of the dawn sky. The calm conditions helped to emphasise the solitary tree against the surrounding landscape.
