I was up at 6am this morning and greeting me was this fabulous sight. I live under the London - Atlantic airway, as many planes use the Bristol Channel as a marker for trans-Atlantic flights. In the good old days concorde could be seen overhead followed sometimes by the distant boom as it hit the sound barrier over the sea.
Early every morning sees many vapour trails across the skies on this part of the Somerset coast as the early morning flights gain height. One day I counted 27 such trails high up in the sky at one time with 3 being made there and then.
But today the beauty of the vapour trails were highlighted beautifully in the gathering sunrise.
This morning's sunrise wasn't the only stunning one I've witnessed recently. A week or so back this unbelievable "red sky in morning" broke about 5.30am. And the rhyme was indeed correct that day. By 2pm it was raining a complete monsoon which lasted for 3 days here. I'm so glad I get up early to catch such natural spectacles - life is never dull when this sort of thing occurs.
Lovely captures, Andrew! Beautiful colours.
