I like your choice of view, the textures and the colors of the hill. But, IMHO Ed, this is a little too much HDR for me, esp. the clouds :); very dramatic, of course. "Old restaurant" has just the right blend.
That's a house? People chose to live there on the top of a cold, barren and windy place? I wonder why. Gatekeeper to some important building below? A lookout station (for defense or maybe fires)? A religious hermit? Very interesting photo, nicely working with the sky. Great study of the rockface in the foreground as well.
Ed - The shepherd moved back to town and abandoned his abode? The stark terrain and dark cloudy sky create a lonely tone in this photo. Excellent work! Thad
