In Camera ... Postcard AG299


Early January, at this time of year the sun sets behind the Welsh Hills, usually a bank of cloud appears to obscure the sun before it sets behind the hills but on this evening, and several others to follow, the sun appeared to disappear directly behind the mountains. The air was calm and little disturbed the scene apart from the odd seabird. I had set the camera up on a tripod and was recording the scene as the sun went down. This bird flew across just as I pressed the shutter, captured in a silhouette which reminds me of Picasso's dove of freedom.
