Congratulations xpfloyd. Magical photo. I have walked around here often trying not to get people in the photo. The obvious thing was to come back at night and get a whole lot of better things than mere people.

Thanks. There's a layby about 1m from the gate and we (me and the mrs) were in a camper van so had the whole place to ourselves. It was a brilliant night for photography and a really dark sky up there. Probably my favourite photo I've ever taken
