Midday landscape photography in June, July and August is often unsuccessful. The height of the sun, the depth of the shadows, the reflections from grass and leaves and the general glare all conspire to make such photogrpaphs less interesting: early mornings and evenings are usually better. But sometimes you have to be out around midday, and sometimes things work out better than you expect. I wouldn't have taken his photograph without the clouds that rolled across my view. Nor would I have done so without a long focal length lens on the camera or the absence of the two walkers ahead of us.
