I spotted this composition after trying in vain to get something different here, as the standard view, while fantastic in itself, has been shot to death. It's not easy because the viewpoint is from the road. As the area surrounding this road is private land I do, as everyone should, respect this and keep to the road. Upon returning to my car which was parked in layby just across the road, I was packing away when I turned and saw this. From just across the road at 105mm focal length, it is the perfect and most original shot I have of this iconic view.

The Church breaks through the mist as the sun broke through from behind a bank of cloud. The light was harsh by this stage, however, it converted well to a black and white image.248mm. F9, !SO 125, 1/250s

Shoot with care
This spot has become very popular with photographers and some do not respect the private land - local owners complain of destroyed meadow, human poo all around the forest and even trash. Do not be one of those who spoil location for all the rest. Thank you!
