Dawn Rain on Brecon Road
Right now it feels like summer has departed, and autumn is having a crack at the year early. Horse chestnut leaves are already on the turn, and that familiar morning chill is back. I noticed the sun trying to make […]
Longer Days
Tail end of February. Noticeably longer days. Not quite so good for catching sunsets on the way home from work, but skies still impressive.
Golden Frosty Morning
0°c at 4am dropping to -2.5°c by 7am. A dry, frosty morning. I absolutely love this view looking down the valley on mornings like this. Cold mist, golden light on the trees. The sun is low and the hills of […]
Final Sunset at the End of a Dry Week
Such a novelty to have a whole week of no rain. I’m worried we’ll get used to it. Great to have so many sunsets though. Teasing brighter evenings in the weeks to come.
Spoilt with Sunsets This Week
The dry weather and chill wind continues, and we’re being spoilt with fine days and warm sunsets. Temperatures seemed to lift towards 5pm this evening. I could certainly live with these conditions until spring.
A Cold Dry Snap

Tesco Sunset
Something I love about winter is that with all the rain and the shorter days, skies tend to be really interesting. Even the most mundane tasks (popping into Tesco to get supplies for the weekend) grant sublime moments.
Epic Skies
Epic skies while heading home this evening. I always enjoy coming this route staring straight into the west at sunset. To my right a huge bank of angry looking black cloud, and in the distance the twinkling of streetlights on […]
Twilight at ASDA
I’ve got a thing for twilight and dusk. It’s a magical time, maybe because it is so fleeting. That blue in the sky is like no other. A very cold, fresh day today. I was rushing to do a family […]
