Once I got to some higher ground, I could see that cloud was still obstructing the moonrise and that I wasn&#8217;t going to see the eclipse. Luckily for me the sunset was proving quite spectacular, with some great colours showing. A quick change of plans saw me on the Clyne Common road trying to find some foreground interest to frame up. The result is the image below. It&#8217;s not bad, but it would have been better if I had had the time to move closer to the bush, so it was above the horizon. It is a bit too close to the horizon for my liking at the moment.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1748\" title=\"Sunset over Clyne Common, Gower Peninsula\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Clyne-Common20110615_NCD5176.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Clyne-Common20110615_NCD5176.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Clyne-Common20110615_NCD5176-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Clyne-Common20110615_NCD5176-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After I explored the classical landscape shots, I indulged myself with a few cloud pattern images.
