Aug 1st - Sunrise
The "Blue" moon this week really did catch the imagination of the press. I completely missed the opportunity. It just didn't cross my mind that the press would be so interested. The moon isn’t really blue and it just relates to a second full moon in the calendar month. There have been some great moon images, especially those showing Glastonbury Tor and I wouldn’t have come up with anything as good.
While all that was going on, I was concentrating on the Sunrise!!. Hoping, that I would get some great images of the Tor with the sun coming through the Arch of St Michaels tower. It means an early start ie 4am,so off I went. Friday was a clear morning and I have previously shown those. On Saturday there was a bit more cloud and a few people on the Tor. This is one of the images and it was used by the Daily Mail Online so I might have made the right call in the end!! :-)

Incidentally on Friday I had to be in work for 9am, so it was a very, very long day !!
