In the Nic of time...



The idea to visit Wye for some sunset photography very nearly didn't happen as a road that passes the railway station of the same name was closed and we were forced to make a detour of some miles to get back on track. By then Nic and I were seriously pressed for time and it really was a case of jump out of the car when we got there, quickly take a handful of shots before the sun disappeared altogether, and get back in the car again. It all happened so quick that the sheep didn't have time to react.

Beautiful. Lucky for us constant viewers that you made it in time. I wish I was there with you. It must have been fun to crest that hill while running out of time and to squeeze off those few shots in that lovely moment.

It was a close call and involved some brisk walking to get into position, Tim, but occasionally it is possible to arrive at precisely the right time. A good job, really, as there was a biting on top of the ridge.
