Misty Solar Sunrise.


Up at 5.45am ...just missed the Sunrise.
 
Captured a few shots of our mist shrouded village.

Last night we slept in the shed again. 

Around about midnight I spotted a lovely meteor trail.

The meteor started its journey around Vega and continued over towards Altair.
 
 

At around 02h30m I was awake again and watching a gibbous Moon as it perched itself on some nearby treetops. 

The air was still, no cars to be heard,  a beautiful calm morning.

Spying on Venus.



This morning whilst waiting for the sunrise I spotted Venus shining brightly over towards the Haverfordwest area...  it looked amazing.
 

 
 
From the front garden it looked even better as it hovered above the rooftops.... 
 
What a beautiful start to the day.
