Early morning mists
Or, to be more precise, the lack of them! They were promised this morning, and with a cold, still night following a lovely warm day, it was looking good. I set the alarm early (again!) and even had a peak out of the window around 2am, to see a great waft of mists outside my window, so I was very hopeful.
A couple of hours later though it had mostly dissipated. As I climbed up the local hills overlooking West Dorset, there were a few light mists lying the in the valleys but nothing like what I was hoping for.
As I waited to see if it would improve, the sun became to give its wonderful pre-dawn glow which was great to see as it warmed the landscape and skies above, but at the same time, a huge bank of low lying cloud was being blown in from the North, which eventually obscured all the scene, before it was burnt off by the suns warmth over the next couple of hours.
It been a few early starts recently, with limited opportunities, but its always wonderful to be up at sunrise, to see the change in lighting and the mists lying across the valleys. Whether I get a great image or not, its a sight you can never tire of.
