What an utterly amazing view it was and armed with my Nikon Z8 and my 70-200 I managed to capture this view, it not only changed my day it changed my week.
I am finally back to landscape photography season again and after missing the last two years at it I am itching to go now.

Delighted to have my photograph of Karl Henry on the front cover (and a few more inside) of his awesome new book... The Walking Effect.
