Forbes of Kingennie is a country retreat I spent the weekend at a few weeks ago. It’s a beautiful place where you can hire a lodge or a private cabin, spend an enjoyable day fishing in the well-stocked reserves, golfing on the private course or one of many other fun activities that I didn't get to try because I was daft enough to be getting up long before dawn to take photographs.
Actually the morning sunrise was so stunning that I’m pretty sure I got the better part of the deal and at least I wasn't among those that were so hungover that they could face the sun when eventually they did rise.
The shot is centred on the main building of the complex with rental lodges and holiday homes either side. Taken at approximately 5 minutes after the sun broke the horizon it was captured in a single frame taken over 15 seconds with an ND filter to help smooth what little movement there was in the water.

Looking north from San Francisco late on a wintry afternoon, with the usual cast of characters decked out on floats by the pier, one tower of the Golden Gate Bridge to the west, and the hills of Marin County beyond, where the town of Sausalito lies along the slope descending into the Bay, and the ridge of 2,579' (786m) Mount Tamalpais towers above in the background.
CN 2031 and company roar to life departing United Taconite’s Fairlane plant at last light with another round of freshly baked taconite pellets heading for the twin ports.
Most of La Veta pass is inaccessible since it is in a gated Ranch community known as Forbes park. However, there are still some good shots to be had west of the summit near the entrance. Unfortunately for me, the train beat the receding cloud line here by a few minutes.
