Shot narrative:
Devoid of rocks to clamber across, I was feeling just far too sensible, so I decided to climb a tree with one hand (the other holding the camera of course – so Mr Oubridge – no tripod used!) so that I could get it from a different angle.

    Another great shot Stuart, again the colour in this brilliant and I love the framing of it with the overhanging trees. Well worth climbing the tree to get this angle!

    Truly glorious. Such richness in that blood red which occurs as the angle shallows and the gaps fill – lovely graduation. You should have gone higher – might have seen the sea! LOL
