Forever alone

Taken in the Brecon Beacons National Park, Wales UK.

    Oh my! Incredible shot.

  • Paul Grinzi replied

    Thanks Cathy – the ‘real-life’ view was amazing. I think I captured the vastness of the vista, if you know what I mean. Thanks for commenting.

    Absolutely, did you wait for the right light or was it just perfect timing? It looks like the storm was iminent.

  • Paul Grinzi replied

    I waited .. although the manner the clouds were whizzing by meant that I didn’t have to wait for too long. Within 15 minutes of capturing this image, this scene disappeared in cloud, and it was started raining. The moment had gone.

    I was lucky to have enough light to handhold tha camera. A tripod would have blown over!
