The story behind this image

The Menai Straits which separate the island of Anglesey from the mainland of Wales are a place of beauty and wonder.

Standing on the Anglesey side and looking across the water you get a fantastic view of Snowdonia and the town of Caernarfon.

However, on this occasion I was more interested in what was happening over my head, with this wonderfully shaped sausage of cumulus clouds filling the sky.

A quick bit of positioning to include the red hulled boat as a foreground focal point and Bob's your uncle.
