I find sunrises wonderful sights to behold, but when the location and light come together perfectly, some really have a hauntingly beautiful quality. Today was one of those.
It was around a half-hour walk from the campsite with just enough time to grab a pic of Blencathra as the sky began to gain some colour in the east |
We arrived with just enough time to grab a few shots of the moon |
As the sun rises you cannot help but feel a connection with the ancient people who came here. |
As the sun strikes the stones it really does feel as if there is a physical and emotional thread weaving down through the centuries linking us to our ancestors. |
The light was in constant flux as the mist crept across the hillside |
This shot was used by the Telegraph this morning |
The view south |
Being a bank holiday Monday there were several other photographers about and we all tried to keep out of each others shots as best we could. In the end I thought why not include one. |

Wow. Stunning Images David.
ReplyDeleteCheers Alan, it's a lovely place to spend time photographing when the light is as good as that.
DeleteWhat time of day was this David. I imagine around 6.30-7.00am?
ReplyDeleteIf I remember correctly we arrived about 6.30am and the sunrise was just before 7.00am. We left just before 8.00am when the light started to get a bit too harsh.
DeleteMy favourite is The View South.
DeleteNot sure which is my favourite Alan, but that one is high on the list for me as well. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
