Sunrise Drive

We are all drawn to a beautiful sunrise when the sky is flooded in a stunning reds, oranges or pinks and purples.

Driving through Shepton Mallet on the way to work the sky started to change.  Just before dawn such blood red skies are fleeting, lasting only a few minutes.

Sometimes its hard to think straight this early in the morning. Where should I stop to capture this sky?  After a few minutes of indecision I went for the classic silhouettes of Whitstone Hill Farm.  Running up and down the road to get the brightest part of the sky behind the farm house.

Whitstone Hill turned into Whitstone Hell.
