The Good Shepherd Photo

Photographer’s Note

The Good Shepherd.

Y Grib Ridge, Black Mountains, near Talgarth, Powys.

Taken in a very soft evening light, a haze filtered through a cloud and about to depart, forever.

In the background, Mynydd Bychan and Y Das; in the foreground, a shelter of sorts, certainly not an ancient monument; perhaps the on-going construction of passing walkers or, as I like to indicate here, a shepherd. In truth I do not know.

Colin, as you have speculated, it is in fact a sheep pen, you will find that it faces away from the prevailing wind. I have used these in Wales many a time when the weather comes down. Good place for a brew up and butty.

I don't know why is this shot so purly rated but for sure it worth much more! :) Only what I see that I would like better is light on this stone building. It should be brighter because way like it is now you lost it in colors of background...like cameleon :))
