Sunrise over Abbotsbury

As I got up expecting to see the predicted mist or fog laying over the fields, I saw clear skies and nothing else. I had a quick drive around the higher ground around Bridport but there was no mist at all to be seen, so I set off towards Abbotsbury to watch the sunrise over Portland, Weymouth and Abbotsbury.

The skies were clear and there was little or no colour in most of the sky, which was all looking a bit disappointing.

As I got to the top of Abbotsbury Hill, looking over St Catherine's Chapel and out towards Weymouth & Portland, there was a bank of a few clouds near the horizon which was beginning to light up as sunrise neared.

I drove down the hill and took off one of the side roads, to position myself directly in line with the chapel and the sunrise, to make sure the colour was directly behind the chapel.

Over the course of the next few minutes the skies glowed and those few clouds looked amazing. I hope you enjoy the capture as much as I did.
