Castell Dinas Bran Llangollen - a misty morning walk
An amazing misty morning walk above Castell Dinas Bran Llangollen on the Panorama today with some just fantastic conditions for photography. The Dee Valley was full of mist, the entire length along the River Dee from Chirk to Corwen, so on arriving in Llangollen I decided that it was definitely worth the effort of wandering up the hillside near to Trevor Rocks, an area I’ve photographed the castle ruins from before. Today was something special though, the mist lingering for several hours so I spent ages wandering up and down the hill as the mist ebbed and flowed through the valley and the warm light of sunrise started to light up the castle ruins.
