About these photographs

These 20 photographs show Laitlum's grassy ridge, its viewing platforms and the deep valley below, in sun, fog and evening light. They are not dated, so the season, visibility and number of visitors you find may be quite different. Captions describe what is in each frame.

Taking your own photos

Bring a lens cloth and a rain cover, and give the cloud time to move; the view can change completely in a few minutes. Stay behind railings and away from unfenced edges, ask before photographing people in Smit or the valley villages, and ask locally before flying a drone.
