Sunrise From The Long Mynd in the Frost

Throwback to a freezing cold and super early (but definitely worth it) morning up the Long Mynd. The views were amazing and the sunrise and frost really combined to create some wonderful colour, light, and shade.

For context, these were taken in January 2020, a month or two before everything went completely crazy in the world. Things haven’t really improved a great deal since then really…

Shropshire Landscapes - Caer Caradoc and the Lawley

Usually when I go to Shropshire I tend to end up in the Long Mynd exploring the well known hills of Church Streton. This time, for a change I thought I’d check out some of the hills that can be viewed in the distance from the Long Mynd, but up close.

I went in the evening, hoping for some nice lighting and shadows, with the intent of getting some successful landscape photos.

As the sun got lower in the sky, some brilliant shadows started to drape over the landscape. I particularly like the dramatic contrast on this last shot with half the woodland shrouded in darkness and the top half starkly lit by the orange glow of the setting sun.
