| Pre-sunrise light over Tewet Tarn, Lake District |
To get this new series off the ground the photograph I have chosen is one from our visit to Keswick in early January 2013.
Tewet Tarn occupies a commanding position on the northern slopes of the diminutive Low Rigg. At a height of 680ft/207m and on its own little plateau the ground slopes away on
the other 3 sides giving unrestricted views across St Johns in the Vale
to the east and across both the Northern and North Western Fells.
The
weather forecast the previous evening for sunrise was one of doom and
gloom – persistent low cloud, mist and a 70% chance of drizzle to last
most of Sunday – how wrong they were. It
turned out to be a stunning sunrise. With about 15 minutes to sunrise the
sky had a pink tinge to it that became orange/red just before the
sun rose. This contrasted well with the cooler blues of the banks of mist and heavy cloud moving north along St Johns in the
Vale.
