Early morning in Galloway

I was up nice and early on the last Monday in January 2012. I decided I'd go out and try and film a sunrise. As it happened I was very disappointed with the results of my video, and the pictures weren't as I'd hoped. The sunrise wasn't as good as I'd hoped and I probably picked the wrong location. Over the course of the next two hours though, I did however get some pictures I thought worthy of posting so here they are.


Above the A75 on the railway walk between Cuil and Creetown was my destination.
My first pictures are of cackling crows a low flying heron and the lights of Carsewalloch 

  

Reaching Blairs I waited for the sun to come up.
Occasionally the A75 would have a small queue of traffic



I kept taking pictures of the traffic while my video camera was busy taking nothing.
Soon though I was getting a red glow from the rising sun



There's quite a few remnants of vapour trials and an interesting weathercock to the east



The A75 gets a little busier



I wonder if the Wigtownshire Transport Community bus is the one I've booked for July ?



Now the sun is high enough over Wigtown Bay to get a bit of colour



























As I'm heading back to the car this deer spots me




Lucky for me  he/she decides to pose along with this crow



This is another Picasa effect known as Focal Zoom



I think I might have disturbed a courting ritual here, the female had just flown off


The sun's now reaching most of the Cree estuary and here I get this picture of Muirfad and behind the Rowan Glen Dairy Products Factory



Here's my second heron of the day 



Cuil Farmhouse and the still snowcapped Cairnsmore of Fleet



A closer look at the misty slopes of Cairnsmore



Back at Cairnsmore Lodge there are a few birds about



A couple of crows keep a watchful eye open



A big old tree completes my morning, I'm back home by 10am

I'm still hoping for another early morning, I think the Isle of Whithorn might be a good sunrise
Maybe tomorrow

A frosty morning

Monday 9th of November 2009 began with a heavy frost around Newton Stewart.I decided on an early morning walk. Even before sun up it was nice and bright over the Cree valley. I thought i'd try and film the sunrise again,but the resulting video turned out very boring. I did notice though,that as i speeded the 45 minute footage up,the sounds of the occasional traffic became more interesting.

Compressing the clip to just under 3 minutes,the noises now take on more of an animal and bird life quality.The only exciting visual section of the clip is the last few seconds as the sun rises Once the sun's risen it's an enjoyable descent via the fields round Barrhill Farm.I must remember to save my apple cores when walking.This little pony kept nudging my pocket as i stroked him. There's little pockets of mist visibly rising as the morning sun gains height. Now over Barbuchany,i take some panoramas.
