The story behind this image

Standing on the summit of Foel Fenlli on a midsummer's eve watching the evening progress over the Clywdian hills in North East Wales.

Where else would you want to be?

This was the end of a particularly lovely day, with the sun having set about forty minutes previously and the colours of twilight bleeding across the sky.

The evening mist was just starting to form in the valleys between the spurs of the Clwydians, and with the remains of the Jubilee Tower on the summit of Moel Famau standing out in stark silhouette against the gloaming it was the perfect place and time for a photograph.

The only man-made object in the scene is the Moel-Y-Parc radio transmitter, with its red anti-collision beacons just visible on the far side of Moel Arthur.

What a place to live!
