SEE IT, SHOOT IT, PRINT IT

Who would have thought it? On a very stormy and overcast day in April 2009, I ventured up to Sidi Bou Said from Sousse via Tunis. The purpose of the visit was to see and photograph the distinctive blue doors and window structures that had made the village a mecca for photographers and tourists alike. I took this shot from a superb vantage point in a cafe towards the top of the town that is famous for having been a haunt of the famous artistPaul Klee. The sky was dark and menacing, the blues of the window saturated with skylight breaking through the clouds.

Barely two months later, this photograph was picked up by a CD production company in France and purchased for use on a CD cover that is dedicated to Tunisian music - WINDS FROM THE DESERT. This CD can be purchased online from the company website at http://www.playasound.com.

Congratulations to all three winners.

As an avid walker and hiker in Snowdonia, I take every opportunity to use my camera to get new shots of the region for my website http://www.northwaleslandscapes.com. I have now completed 13 of the 14 Welsh 3000er's with only Crib Goch left to do on a full traverse. With autumn and winter approaching, I am not altogether sure whether I will get the chance now but it is nagging away at me and I need to complete it before moving on to conquer the peaks of the Lake District and Scotland.
