Here's a glorious sunset of black, gold and white in the Corvedale, seen from Brown Clee.

Beautiful light as sun sets in the Corvedale

I was standing on the ramparts of Nordy Bank hill fort for this shot, looking across the misty landscape towards the Brecon Beacons - now known as Bannau Brycheiniog - more than 50 miles away.

Standing out on the far horizon to the right are the peaks of Cribyn, Pen y Fan and Corn Du, which, along with Fan y Big, form the challenging Horseshoe Ridge Walk.

The dark shape rising above the mist on the left of the shot is Mortimer Forest, which straddles the Shropshire and Herefordshire border.

I spent a total of seven hours on Brown Clee, but sunset turned out to be the best time of the day for taking pictures.
