Long Drove
I’m getting a bit behind is posting – the pressure of work and DIY. A few days ago I was looking at my Lightrac app to find a destination for dawn the next day. I noticed that Long Drove near Glastonbury lined up nicely with the direction of the sunrise. So I got up early and headed off to catch the dawn.
Long drove is dead straight for a couple of miles. For many years I have cycled up and down this road with my family on the weekend. It has recently been re-surfaced, but previously it was very cracked. It was a bit like cycling along a railway line over all the sleepers.
The mist rises up from the ditches on each side of the drove.

I took a stool in the car to stand on whilst I took the pictures. My extra height meant I could see water in the ditches on both sides of the road at the same time.

Imagine my surprise when another photographer turned up. This is rare so we had a good chat and helped each other out. In these days when the temperature is around zero Celius it is easy to forget that filters and lens can mist up.
