Insanity
That's what I thought when my alarm went off at 0330 this morning after a little less then 4 hours sleep, to drive 2 hours over to Bamburgh for a sunrise that the forecast pretty much denied was even going to happen. Thick fog from Hexham to the A1, I hate driving in fog, I like to see what's going on. A massive lightning bolt half way up the A1 soon sharp woke me up, it lit the whole sky up and everything around me!
I got to Bamburgh around 0600, the only car there, the only one mad enough to be out this morning! Anyhow, I had time for a wee car nap, just 10 mins, it made all the difference, as I woke up to rain, not forecast until after sunrise! The sea was feisty though so I got sorted and headed out.
I love Bamburgh, I've shot this place right from the beginning of my photography journey almost 14 years ago, and I always will, it's never the same twice, the sands shifting revealing new ledges to shoot from, and then the sky kicked off. It really went crazy for 5 minutes! I've never seen anything like it in my life, it was absolutely amazing to watch it form and blow across in front of me.
A morning where I questioned whether it was worth it on the way, to a 2 hour drive home absolutely buzzing with what was on those wee memory cards!
If you got this far, thanks and I hope you like the images!
