Uphill Again

Uphill Beacon – North Somerset, UK. ID JB_6636

I folllowed by feet back up the hill at Uphill.  As is often the case I there early.  Early enough to capture the stars in the night sky above the old church.  It has a wonderful position perched at the top of a steep hill on one side and a cliff down the boat harbour on the other.

A bank of clouds over Bleadon Hill glowed bright red before the sun appeared.

As the dawn approached, dog walkers stopped to wait for the sun.

I flock of wood pigeons took to the sky – spooked by a sparrow hawk which escaped my camera.

And finally…

Earlier that day I was lucky to walk passed the beacon just as this rainbow appeared.
