Nice one Andrew. I've been there several times but don't have any photos as good as this one. The clouds and the slight HIE glow really works here.
 
Andrew what surprises me is the lack of the look of a HIE print your print possess. I would have expected to have a much blacker sky with the clouds having a major impact. I would also expect to see the emphasis of grain throughout the shot. As to the photograph itself I think that it is a terrific shot and well in keeping with the high standard of work that you post. It is just the mention of HIE that intrigued me.
 
Thanks so much for commenting, Vincent. The lack of HIE may be because I shot this one in winter, where IR level is lower. In regards to grain, it's not really noticeable with the sheet film version until you start making very large prints. Xtol was such a lovely developer with this film. Oh how I miss HIE!!
