A Welsh Hillside Path

Description

A narrow path winds over a rocky Welsh hillside, passing between rough stone ledges and patches of grass. The land falls away toward a distant valley and low blue hills. The viewpoint looks along the path as it curves through the uneven foreground. A visual link joins route to cool distant hills, keeping both in view. The color and shape of route meet cool distant hills through a distinct contrast. This image draws together route and cool distant hills through placement and contrast.
