I am thinking that this is not in the UK. Is it the Dolomites or somewhere like that?

It's outside a village called Thollon les Memises above Evian in France. The clouds are covering Lac Leman (Lake Geneva) and the mountains on the far side are part of the Swiss Alps.

This picture was taken a few hours later after the clouds had lifted.

It's the view from my mate's balcony. The bastard

It's not a bad view to have from one's balcony, that's true enough.

I wish I had some sort of black background - that woulda been tops innit

I'd imagine it would be pretty simple to select the white background and invert it, with not too shoddy results.

I don't have a mouse for the laptop that I edited it on, I tried it with the trackpad & just couldn't get rid of all the crappy bits at the edge of the bloke

I might be able to do a better selection by making some sort of adjustment layer, and using curves to max out the contrast between the bloke and the background, maybe feathering the edge of the selection by 1 or 2 pixels... can you do that in Gimp? I know ya can in PS

Last week pc Darryl 8006, he had a camera on his hat and was asking for copys of propaganda not same this week, he was not that interactive and spent an 1 hour plus with his hand over his face..

lovely framing

Good innit, I love using stuff to frame stuff, although the opportunity to do so doesn't arise too often

edit no.2: This kind of composition adds a 'layer of interest' to the photo...

Is it the mysterious Beast of Hathersage?

Yes indeed, watching the weather forecast pays off, i like the one on radio 4 at midnight, no tripod mind you and i bought some filters and left them as well but stunning..
