I wasn't expecting this, POTW!
I'll have to go on holiday more often, tough job but hey.
Thank you for your comments, I'm chuffed to have presented an image that so many of you have enjoyed.

Using a telephoto lens to capture the hills and light in the background would have been really nice. I keep going to that top middle left area
The lighting is wondeful

I see what you are looking at, not a shot I took unfortunately. My HD 16-85mm was at full stretch for this one.
