The story behind this image

This stark image of the summit of Snowdon was inspired by Galen Rowell's photo called 'Split rock and cloud' which you can see here.

My wife Liz and I had been exploring the Miner's path up Snowdon and we were on our way back to the car park when I turned around and saw this composition.

I find it sometimes pays to stay in a location after the sun has set, and to look back as well as forward from time to time!
