Cornish Sunrise

Something prompted me awake at five a.m. this morning.. Whatever it was I was glad of it.  Perhaps a photographer’s sixth sense?  When I looked out and saw the colour of the sky I knew I’d have to take a picture or two and share them here.. :-)

  2. The magic hour, for sure! I love the stillness in these.

    • Thank you Karen. It was wonderfully still. The blades on the wind turbine were stationary, the first of the birds were starting to sing.. my favourite time of day. :-)

  3. Such a stunning sky, Adrian. I bet you were so glad you didn’t miss it. Did you go back to bed again afterwards? :)

    • I did Sylvia, went back to bed and slept another three hours. Can’t be bad! :-)

    It must have been the vibration of all that riotous color. Beautiful shots…!!!

    Looks like you were up before all the transatlantic flights this morning ChillB ;-)
    A gorgeous colour swash right across the sky there … such a lovely aspect from your patio .
    … and yes … I can definitely now see it’s a white horse which we saw running along the top field in the dimpsy … Lol

    • Yes, no contrails drawing unwanted lines across the sky Poppy. Yes definitely a white horse and not a camper van off road.. I should wear my glasses more, definitely. :-D

  13. That was indeed a outstanding sky. Wish I was able to just wake up at five am in the morning. I am sure it would improve my photography quite a bit…

  16. I’m beginning to think you are in a different time zone to the rest of us in the UK! But it certainly pays of in terms of images. A beautiful start to the day, Adrian
