Full moon sets across Lyme Bay
I decided to get up early this morning to catch the full moon again as it set down across Lyme Bay. I tried a couple of view points, but found Hive Beach in Burton Bradstock gave the view I was looking for.
I arrived well before sunrise and the reflections of the moonlight across the water were wonderful: forming a path across Lyme Bay right into the heart of Lyme Regis. It was so bright in the sky compared to everything else, that is was difficult to minimise the halo effect around the moon.
It was a cold morning, but well worth the trip. Gorgeous views and a great way to start the days.
I took a few shots from the hillside overlooking Hive Beach before moving up to the top of the cliffs and looking the other way to see the sunrise. Not much cloud about and rather misty, but the birds made it work. Thank you.
