St. John's Castlerigg and Wythburn
The forecast was for rain, but I decided to work with what I get. Sunlight peaked through a gap in the clouds to the east creating some wonderful colours at sunrise. I was also the only person at this magical place, presumably due to the bad weather forecast.
Castlerigg Stone Circle, Lake District
I was standing in the field around the Castlerigg Stone Circle with at least 6 other photographers. It was a grey Autumn morning and several had already packed it in and given up, when suddenly the sun made a surprising appearance and lit up the flanks of Blencathra and the surrounding clouds. The remaining photographers all went crazy, everyone trying to get their perfect composition. I am glad I waited.

An early morning, trying to capture the light a Castlerigg Stone Circle in Cumbria, Lake District. The sun came out for a few minutes and lit up Blencathra Mountain and I considered myself lucky to be there, as the rest of the day turned out to be wet and dismal.
