Dawn across the Vale of Pewsey

You can see the shadowy lines beaming across the red clouds caused by 'virga rain' blocking the early sun rays. Virga rain is formed when water droplets falling from the cloudbase evaporate before reaching the ground. There are several wispy streaks of virga rain in the centre of this shot, taken at 6:44am from Milk Hill on the North Wessex Downs.
