Bempton Village Walk - 17th October 2024

Bempton Pond

I was awoken this morning at c0500hrs by brightness through the curtains, looking out, the full "Hunters" Moon was doing its best to stay out of the clouds! Rushing downstairs to grab my camera, I managed an image or two before the moon was swallowed by cloud.

I was glad I made the effort, as the morning dawned cloudy with some brightness in the east as I walked Symphony.

Thank you for looking.

Bempton Cliffs Walk (Sunrise) - 13th October 2024

My previous blog page covered the pre-sunrise and I stated this could be more spectacular than the actual sunrise. Due to a large, thick cloud base on the eastern horizon, this mornings sunrise was a tad subdued. It was about fifteen minutes or more before the sun broke the cloud base, what I term as a "secondary sunrise". It was still an enjoyable experience, although a tad chilly!

Bempton Cliffs Walk (Pre-sunrise) - 13th October 2024

I often think that the pre-sunrise is better than the actual sunrise! This morning, on my walk to the cliffs, a thick cloud base was over the eastern horizon, usually meaning a subdued sunrise and the scene burning out as the sun breaches the clouds. I also like the bright and dark combinations of the pre-sunrise, with nature awakening around you. A cold start with a chilling wind typified an autumnal dawn.
