Fading stars as the Sun approaches the horizon at Marsh Lock in Henley on Thames. This is a familiar place to me, so I knew that if it was a clear, still morning I'd be able to take this shot. I made my way here early one morning, just before the sun rose and the stars were beginning to fade in the night sky and the scene unfolded in front of me.
The Sun creeps over the brow of the hill to threaten the misty landscape below. Spoiler alert - the Sun ultimately wins! I'd walked past this spot along the Thames Path many times and knew there would be a good shot of these trees at the right time of day. One early morning I found the right time as there was still some mist on the ground beneath the trees but blue skies behind the clouds and the orange glow of the Sun coming over the horizon.
