      Glastonbury Tor, taken from Swanbridge in Sully, Vale of Glamorgan.

      I was amazed to see it as it’s about 23 miles as the crow flies, taken on my Panasonic FZ82.

        I take it you used single spot focus and if not you may well be able to get a better picture and great pickie BTW.

          I was last there in ’98, in my second Motability lease: a Corsa 1.4 automatic. We stayed in the shadow of the Tor, in a cottage on the Levels. Beautiful area, but what we had not known about was the winter floods. All drained away, but the track leading to the cottage had sunk, leaving the centre stones high. Scraped the Corsa’s bum a few times, when I returned home I asked the Vauxhall dealer to check it out. No problems, but the sump and gearbox casing had been scraped. That ’98 Corsa was the hardest ride I have experienced, glad to change it, for a Nissan Almera 1.8. Which was a better car than the motoring media gave credit to at the time. Charlie the dog loved it!

          When the Thought Police arrive at your door, think -
          I'm out.

            It was on auto focus, forced by a half press of the shutter button. I got a few shots closer up but they used the digital zoom as well so weren’t as clear as the pure optical zoom ones.

              Bloody good picture, I love it, the more I look at it. With the tiny distortions etc caused by the atmosphere.
