Sawley Cut.

Planned on bluebell hunting at sunrise yesterday morning in Sherwood Forest where I've seen some lovely images from already this year, hence why I was 100 miles from home at 5am. The forecast looked great for sunrise.

 

The dog started to limp when I let her out for a toilet break so the bluebells and woodlands were off the cards for the day. Pleased to say she's better today but no ball chasing for a week at least.

 

It ended up as a morning of reccying locations in this area, which I'm happy to say I found all of. One of which I never would have found without the help of a friendly local who walks his dogs there each morning. I'm never going to get to shoot it in the conditions Steve Cole had simply because of the distance from home but this magical shot of his was the reason I went searching for it.

I realised where I was close to, so I opted for Sawley Cut and Ratcliffe-on-Soar Power Station at sunrise.

 

Zero steam from the cooling towers when we first got there. This was taken at 06:07 and the first wisps started to show as people got up to start their day and pop the kettle on.
