The story behind this image

High in the hills behind Penmaenmawr on the North Wales coast lies the beautiful and dramatic Sychnant Pass, giving access to some of the best views of the coast and mountains in the area.

This view, photographed on a lovely evening in July 2007, shows the view inland from the Sychnant Pass, towards the Carneddau mountains, glowing in the warm light of the setting sun.
