Mount Tiede

I once went to a photoclub talk entitled "Waiting for the Light". I thought this was a really powerful idea and something that should always be kept in mind. Then I started travelling and it became impossible to wait for the light and so good landscape shots had to be grabbed when they came along.

This late evening shot of Mount Tiede in Teneriffe was taken on the way back to the hotel after a day out last Christmas. We saw the shot, pulled up the car and waited for two or three minutes as the snow got redder and redder.
