Sunrise at the Llanberis Lonely Tree

One of the most photographed landmarks in North Wales, the Lone Tree at Llyn Padarn, Llanberis, is a favourite sunrise spot for photographers from around the world. Known locally as the “Lonely Tree”, it stands gracefully against the backdrop of Snowdonia’s mountains, reflected in the still waters of the lake.

On this morning, I rose early to beat the inevitable crowd and was rewarded with exactly the shot I was hoping for. The lake mirrored the tree in perfect calm — until a group of hardy cold-water swimmers broke the surface, bringing the scene to life. The result is “Sunrise at the Lone Tree”, a serene yet vibrant composition that captures both the peace of dawn and the spirit of the place.

Printed on demand using C-Type Fuji Matt or Fuji Gloss paper, these prints are available in four sizes to suit your home or office. Each is supplied un-mounted with a 10mm white border, ready for you to mount and frame yourself. Professionally produced to gallery quality, this is an iconic piece of North Wales landscape photography.
