On Location: Frosty dawn at Raby Castle 26th November 2013
Frosty dawn at Raby Castle. Sometimes I just get lucky. So it was on this day, a Saturday in autumn when I was heading to West Auckland to do some shopping. The previous night had been crisp, cold and clear. As I drove through Barnard Castle the sun was only just showing above the horizon.
It wasn’t even my intention to stop to take photographs but as I had the camera in the car it would have been an error not to use it.
Passing through Staindrop the light from the low sun was intense. I Can only describe it as burning orange. As glow was on Raby Castle. I hastily pulled in to a convienient lay by and managed to grab a couple of shots.
It would be easy to assume that I have enhanced the colours and effects for drama but I haven’t. It was a truly wonderful scene and a privilege to witness it.
Just lucky but well worth the early rise.
Thank for reading.
By chance is often the way Andy. Really cracking shots.
Thanks Graham. Yes, lucky I had the camera with me.
