1/2 a mile west of the Crimea pass

[Trappe]

Hi,

I could see a break in the clouds around 19:00 so I quickly grabbed my bag and set of for the hills I parked at the top of the Crimea pass near Blaenau ffestiniog and made my way towards Moel Druman. Typically conditions then deteriorated however it was nice to be out and about.

I spent most of the time admiring the view as conditions were not great for photography. On my way back to the car I grabbed these.

Sheep on the hill

The perfect location for a sunset is the ridge directly behind the sheep. I will have to get to that location quite soon.

The light through the valley in that first image made me "Oh" out loud!

Thanks

The light to the west of Snowdon as I made my way down the hill made me say a bit more than "Oh" when I realised I had chosen the wrong location

Oh followed by some carefully chosen words?

Yes thats a interesting shot the light travelling through the valley. Then you get the realisation where you should of been its a Bu99er isnt it, but you know by the time you get to the other location the light will have gone. You just cant win sometimes can you. However theres something about the shot.... quite haunting, i keep going back and looking at it.

I see you have some of Kevins friends in number 2

There's not much faulting one for it's simply very atmospheric

Both are outstanding images imo, with #1 ahead for the fine subtlety of its light, shade, colour, and composition.
