Winter morning sunlight
It was icy cold when I arrived at about 07:45am, so much so that my tripod had signs of frost and my right hand was extremely cold due to its continued exposure to elements and in arranging my camera settings. Waiting patiently, 20 minutes or so, for the moment when the sun cast it's early morning light on the house and the hill to the left was rewarding as was going back to the warmth of my car.
Dower house on the horizon was built in 1563 as a private stately home and has over the centuries undergone various transformations. Currently, it has been converted to private flats. Due to its location alongside the motorway leading in and out of the city, it is a prominent landmark.
