Thank you Sarah & Heather; like the curate’s egg - good in parts ... but not all of it!

I’m glad you decided to post it Michael, it’s a very striking scene. I love the contrasts of deep shadows and that white/pale yellow light cast by the moon.

Thanks for introducing some romance Carol! Must admit I hadn’t thought along those lines - typical male response! Christine, Paul, Fiona, Russell & Romila - thank you too. Glad you like it. I really think it is a bit rough around the edges but the iPhone, tablet or computer screen are quite forgiving!

I have taken the liberty of painting a similar view in moonlight! Found this quite tricky to paint and despite its shortcomings thought it worth posting.
