The story behind this image

As part of a couple of days 'glamping' experience in the Brecon Beacons National Park, Wales, my wife Liz and I took a trip into the Vale of Ewyas to visit the famous Llanthony Priory.

Dating from the 13th century these landmark ruins still include a working hotel, bar and restaurant, but I was more interested in their photographic, rather than gastronomic, potential.

The ruins looked particularly appealing under the mid afternoon sunlight, with a band of cloud adding interest to what would have been a bland blue sky.
