It was an amazing scene, this steam-like vapour rising out of the backs and humps of the hills. It looked as if the hills had just had a shower and the appearing sun was drying them off. I loved how the low lying clouds combed the trees and hedges as they floated past.

The colours in the Black Mountains after the weather breaks on the hills are heavenly and this is what I hoped to convey. ”
