The story behind this image

In the autumn of 2016 my wife Liz and I enjoyed a few days holiday exploring the Pembrokeshire National Park in South Wales.

But our enjoyment started even before we reached Pembrokeshire, as we decided to take the scenic route down from our home in North Wales and drive along the coast road high above Cardigan Bay.

This road gave us beautiful views over the sweep of the bay, right back to the Llyn Peninsula in the north, and eventually I found a suitable layby to pull in and photograph the scenery.

So while we tucked into our picnic lunch I set my camera off recording a time lapse sequence of the fluffy white clouds floating over Cardigan Bay, while fluffy white sheep grazed in the field below our vantage point.

This frame is just one of a few hundred that I took to make the video, and I reckon it makes for a lovely still image in its own right.

Seeing this certainly reminds me once again of those great few days spent in beautiful Pembrokeshire.
