so, the alarm clock has been brought out of retirement again, after a good weather forecast promised a good sunrise. It was still totally dark when we got up and although the first light was appearing by the time we left home, it was still full headlights all the way up to Tarn Hows. We parked up and walked out to the Scott memorial which is a high point with a good view over the tarn and the surrounding fells. There was quite a lot of cloud around, but it was clearing from the east as the sun rose towards the horizon. A few test shots to get the light and suddenly I could see from the shots I was trying that the light was starting to warm up. First the clouds turned pink and then the sun touched the top of Wetherlam and it all began. The light slowly spread wider and wider. Here are some of the results....
As i took my first shots i couldn't help thinking we were a little earlier than we needed to be for sunrise.
Worth the wait though.
The light gradually spread around the fells.
I think this might be my favourite shot of the morning. I pointed my camera to the north, over Loughrigg, towards Helm Crag, where i could see the sunlight just picking out The Lion & The Lamb.
The light began to change and the golden hour wad over.
Later, we walked out into Grizedale Forest and at Goosey Foot Tarn, the autumn colours were beautiful.
