"Marching" up to Bempton Cliffs

 

Post cloacal rubbing with voyeur ensemble!

This mornings local exercise walk around the Bempton circular did not go to plan! The weather forecast was promising a sunny start to the day which usually means a good sunrise. So up early and set out in darkness, but the atmosphere was not right, it felt damp rather than crisp. It was soon obvious that the cloud base was too thick, there would be no sunrise and the light would remain, at best, dull. I should've stayed in bed! Still, I was out so better make the best of it even though any images would be very high ISO and challenging!

A "lovely" sunrise variation in the colour grey!

Please stay safe on your LOCAL exercise walk in nature.
