The video time lapse sequence shows the transition from day to night, overlooking the market town of Ruthin in the Vale of Clwyd, North Wales.
What made the scene special for me were the ominous rain clouds boiling overhead, with the ever present threat of getting a dousing as I waited for the camera to take enought frames to make a decent length video while catching the street lights coming on below me.
The good thing was that I could set the camera up about two feet away from my car, so if the worst happened I could always make a dive for it.
Fortunately the rain held off until just after I'd finished taking this sequence, and I drove home cold, hungry, but happy having witnessed and recorded more beautiful North Wales scenery.
