The story behind this image

I'm really blessed living in North Wales, within easy reach of the Clwydians Area of Natural Beauty.

That means I can drive for ten minutes, walk for another 5 minutes, and see sights like these.

These two shots were taken from the path up Moel Famau, our local 'mountain' (hill really). The view is west facing out over the Vale of Clwyd and catches some amazing sunsets. Indeed, on a clear day you can watch the sun setting over Snowdonia, forty miles to the west.

A long lens helps in this sort of situation!
