2 Dawn Photographs

One of the advantages of living where I do is the fantastic view from the house across the Teifi valley to the Cambrian Mountains. This advantage will soon disappear for me as we are moving house this week, but I still have loads of photos taken here to catalogue.

We are moving across the width of the UK to a property with less land, and less spectacular views (but still rural). We will be in Norfolk near the east coast of the UK. Depending on the state of the Internet connection there may not be a blog or 'Picture of the Week' next week.

Although it does not look like it, these two photographs were taken on the same day just 7 minutes apart. The first photograph is a view, taken on a frosty morning, across the front garden looking south or southeast to the Cambrian Mountains. I love the way the lilac colour fades onto the blue and gold of the sky.

The second image below was taken near the end of the garden, looking past the trees and shrubs towards the Cambrian Mountains. This time the colours are more red and pink. As these were taken in mid winter, I did not need to get up too early to photograph this dawn.



More photos of the dawn can be seen in the gallery.
