Fire over rocks and a ruin.
A memorable dawn up in Northumberland, where the sky was incredible and the footing was impossible!
These dolerite boulders are the best form of defence I've ever encountered. They are just like bowling balls covered in fairy liquid, you fear for your safety and that of your gear with every centimetre gained! Once you have slithered to a spot, in the half light pre dawn, you really need your wits about you in securing any sort of safe anchorage from which to try a shot with a camera.
Anyway the effort was well rewarded as the sky started to show its early light. The intense reds and yellows were just fabulous to behold. I was actually amazed that I was the only person out in such marvellous conditions, or mad enough to be out at such an hour!
