Sunrise from Pen-Y-Fan

[greasemonkey]

Finally achieved something I've been wanting to do for sometime.
After a few failures, I've caught the sunrise from the top of Pen-Y-Fan.
Handsomely rewarded for getting out of bed at 2AM, an hours drive, and a hard two hour walk.
Anyone suffering from the heat, this was the place to be. Nice warm walk up, but on the top it was freezing cold.

They are some very good pics, i expect to see them on the Countryfile calendar

I took 60 pics. Great things, digital cameras.
Most are not very good, some have meaning only to me, and wouldn't look great to anyone else.
Seven or eight of them are outstanding, I'm not putting them on the 'net, in case someone swipes them and sells them.

There was a few others up there. A group of five or six local twenty somethings, and four 60 somethings. I even met a group coming down before the sunrise. Can't understand why the didn't wait for it.

Nice place to be though, very dramatic with the clouds. At times it the cloud was like thick smoke blowing over the edge of the summit.

Just by chance, the proof is in the third pic.
Can you work out how?

We all know the sun doesn't rise in Jim's world, its just permanently gloomy   

Great pics GM. Looks well worth the walk.

The stone in the foreground?

Yup, that's the stone pile and height marker on the top. looking past it at that angle, you are always going to be looking East..............

you can tell it is dawn also due to the fact that that sort of cloud and mist formation is unlikely to occur at dusk when has the the land is hot. i have seen the same sort of mist at  dawn around central wales as well. very nice pics.
 hope you spent some time  not looking at it  though a viewfinder. was at a fair yesterday and a lot of people were so busy looking at the procession though their phones they missed the  reality of it. maybe it is just me  but thinking what something will look like on there facebook page is more important than actually  being there.

I find that too. One of the reasons I haven't got a huge amount of photos of things is that I feel I'm missing something when I'm taking the photo. On the other hand, when I do get good photos, I feel I should take more.
I used to take loads of photos of drag racing, and miss half the action, so I stopped. Now,I've seen that much of it, that I'm back to taking photos again, just for the thrill of getting a good one, in amongst the loads of worthless ones.
