It’s fine. I’m sure I don’t need the extra 3 points with such a stunning photograph.

Quite right and I have just checked out the area on Google Earth. It must be the Bennerly Pass in the Awsworth Mountains. 52.99100853,-1.29484708 lat/lon

Fantastic photo Karl and in my humble opinion you should win outright without a vote purely for catching that incredibly rare cumulonimbus cloud :cloud: :ok_hand: :grin:

Lol I went out Saturday evening to get some shots but the weather was heavily overcast so the light wasn’t great and the colours weren’t as I hoped either. I wasn’t going to take any shots but the Mrs said “you might as well get some as we’re here”. For once I’m glad I listened to her looking at the forecast :grin:
I just hope we can all get out and get some nice shots at somepoint soon :crossed_fingers:t2:

Falling Colours

The winds were blowing the leaves off faster than my mind concentrating on the drone.
Took a few minutes of footage and cut quite an amount out (even with a dodgy wrist) :unamused:
