I took this shot above the more traditional viewpoint of looking at the tree through the gap. I wanted to show the contours of the land on which Hadrian's Wall is built.

Superb capture of light. Like the snaking wall...leads you into the image.. Great landscape image
Thats a beaut actually, you've picked the perfect angle for this shot!
Beautiful landscape shot,i like how the wall take's your eye all the way through,
John.
A well chosen viewpoint to allow the eye to follow the wall as it snakes across the scene: and as you say the land contours on either side are so different, with arable cultivation to the left whilst on the right the hilly nature looks more suitable for sheep.

Ronnie thanks for you comments, If ever you go to Sycamore Gap the car park is at amongst the trees just below the higest hill on the image. Most people including me walk up & downthe gullies four times to reach the photo viewpoint I used..........on return to your car its much easier on yout knee joints to drop down to the tree then walk off to the right back to the carpark......much less strenuous on the knees which I'm sure the Romans discovered.
Best Regards,
Ian.
Beautiful image. The light is wonderful and I love how the wall meanders
