Subject matter
This image depicts Harlech Castle from a distance. Harlech Castle sits atop a hill, with many smaller buildings below it. The background depicts a sky full of clouds. The focus of the image is soft and the lighting diffused. The image becomes more about the romantic mood created by the hazy atmosphere in the scene than about conveying detailed visual information about the castle and surrounding landscape.
