Chasing the sunrise

There is no place near me where I can take decent photos of the sunrise. There is always something in the way – a razor wire fence, a building, trees. A few mornings ago this became obvious as I chased the sunrise. I thought a nearby bridge would elevate me enough to get a good shot, but no, there was a school building slap bang in front of it! The view I wanted was always just around the next corner, but always around that corner there was something in the way.

By the time I got to an open space, all the brilliant orange and pink colours had disappeared. However, I did take some photos, and it was lovely to be out early in the morning before most of the joggers descended.

Over the weekend, with my son away, I was able to take a few photos from his bedroom window, and being higher, I could zoom in and miss the razor wire of the building opposite. But, just to show you, there are a couple of ‘razor wire shots’ – the best colours, but not the best foreground!

(All photos taken with my Lumix Panasonic bridge camera unless otherwise stated)
