It was a warm summer's evening when I walked up to Llyn y Fan Fawr, then climbed the path to Fan Brycheiniog before walking the ridge to overlook Llyn y Fan Fach. I waited at this spot in the somewhat strong wind for sunset. I shot a series of photos to create this panorama, holding the tripod down for each frame so the wind didn't blur the photo. Once the sun had set, I walked back as quickly as I could and managed to get back to the car within the hour of light you get after the sun has gone down.
