The beautiful sights and views of Monmouthshire are always popular with photographers, and it is great to see one of our regular contributors Itay Kaplan (@itkapp) has been nominated for the British Photography Awards for this fantastic photo of the towers of the Second Severn Crossing / Prince of Wales Bridge above the clouds.

The photo was captured during sunrise with the Cloud Inversion (or Dragon's Breath as we like to call it) at its peak.
The valleys of Monmouthshire are extremely conducive to great Dragon's Breath effects this time of year, as the longer nights allow more time for the air to cool close to the ground. It's particularly spectacular in the Wye Valley, as seen here in another photo from Itay of Tintern Abbey :
And here's another great photo from Itkapp of the clouds around the Sugarloaf in the Vale of Usk :
Have a look at our Dragon's Breath page for even more amazing photos, and you can find plenty more from Itay Kaplan on his Instagram account.

One of the most spectacular views in the Wye Valley, Devil's Pulpit looks over Tintern Abbey & the Wales / England border. Starting in Tintern, Monmouthshire, you cross into Gloucestershire before walking through woods up to the viewpoint.
Cistercian abbey, founded in 1131 in the beautiful Wye valley village of Tintern. Remarkably complete abbey church rebuilt in the later thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries, with extensive remains of cloister and associated monastic buildings.
