Poor photo, sorry – This is the third time I attempted to paint this area / view. It is the thorn in my craw. The view is “backlit,” which is to say, thorugh out the day the light shines consistently upon it, from behind – so what is facing you is in shade below and lit up along the top. The resultant light and colours are stunning, but subtle and complex, and I still haven’t managed to capture what I see. This one turned out fairly pretty anyway, though.
