Feizor dawn.
The sun appears briefly across the limestone of Feizor. A place with history and atmosphere. It's a wonder this shot happened at all, really. Firstly, getting up for sunrise is still an effort..... The wind was fierce and it had, moments before,blown my camera over,smashed the lens hood and unknown to me, had knocked the camera onto manual focus. So it was luck that this appears to be in focus. A difficult exposure, and the tree was blowing so wildly that it appears to be moving, even in a still! Thanks for the new location Steve!

This is a fantastic photograph and I wish I had taken it, looks even better when you view it large. You said you were struggling with the sunrise, but it looks very nice Terry.

Excellent shot, irrespective of the conditions. The light on the pavement is superb, some of the best I've seen I think. Great piece of work.

If any shot has your signature style Terry, then this would be how I see it. Cool and dramatic.

Feizor in the foreground, but that has got to be Mordor behind. I blame Sauron for the weather and the smashed lens hood. Supernatural picture!

That's beautiful. There's certainly a processing technique to get the stones in the foreground lit so nicely, is there? Or did it come out of the camera like this?

indubitably!!
