Country lanes.

We walked country lanes several times during our time in England and Wales. While it’s difficult to tell, this lane outside Wooler led up a relatively steep slope, which we looked back down after gaining the top of the slope . . . then led us up another steep hill.

Another walk outside Wooler led us not only along laneways, it occasionally led through gates to paths through fields and pastures. We were glad that no path led us through the gate and into this field.

Early one morning.

I was out early one morning this week and made a point to stop for this marvellous sight of the full moon above this barn.

From the archive.

Shortly before sunrise a few weeks ago.

Country road on a foggy morning.

Softly lit.

On a marvellous late winter morning, this tin barn was softly lit by pre-sunrise light, with the moon setting above it. I was blessed to come across this scene.

Briefly

.The sun briefly appeared this morning between horizon and clouds.

Earlier.

Another view of the sunrise shown on the previous post. This one taken a few minutes earlier.

Glory.

The glory of a sunrise announces the beginning of another day. I am very glad to have broken my routine to witness it, and to share it with you.

A glorious sunrise, shared with you.

Glow.

A recent sunset made the clouds glow. I like how the trees lean into the image, framing the scene.

Burst of brilliance.

A thin layer of fog just above the ground transformed the suns’ appearance into a burst of brilliance.
