Seen as I'm trapped inside here in North Wales at the moment by poor weather I thought I would post a couple of shots from last October for some C&C
All comments appreciated

Great shots! And hey, not a dead cop in sight!
:D
I think you have managed to retain the sky detail much better in the third pic compared to the first two, lovely compositions though, especially the first.
Awesome!
Last month I arrived in Snowdonia at 7am, and the roads were empty and the sky perfectly clear. The scenery was just breathtaking, and you've captured what looks like a similar morning very well.

Thanks for the comments, sometimes nature really does blow me away & this was one of those times, the weather & lighting were pretty much as good as it gets. This shot shows the fantastic clouds a little better

They're great. Good foreground interest and superb sky. Your PP gives them an almost watercolour feel - which I like.
These are crackers Simon, as you well know ;)
Top 1 one for me, even though the horizon is middle and the foreground bang central.
Actually looking at number 4, straight into Number 1 for me.
very good, very tranquil, :)

Thanks again,
I've had comments before that the reflections in these don't look real because there's too much detail, just goes to show how impressive nature can be - never quite know what it has planned next, it's one of the main reasons I enjoy landscape photography so much

Yes, about 120 - filled a 2GB memory card just for this location !!
These are the pick of the bunch though - there was an intermittent breeze so the reflections were not quite so good.
thanks

A cracking spot, have taken shots there myself a couple of times when staying at PYB.
