I spent Saturday up in the Peak District and then on Sunday over in Beverley to try and find something to photograph. The weather / light was't great on either day, so I ended up with nothing I was happy with.
After 2 early starts I hadn't planned on getting up early on Monday as well plus the weather apps said lots of low cloud.
I was awake anyway - I think my body clock now thinks 3:30am is time to be up and at-em So out I went.
Mam Tor was covered in low cloud and none of the valleys showed any signs of mist so I decided to head home - luckily I had a coffee with me and stopped next to Ladybower to watch the world go by as I drank it. Once the caffeine kicked in I was ready to at least give it until sunrise to see if anything happened. I headed up to Howden Dam, but the water was not still.
I drove back down to Derwent Dam and could see the water was still and that there was a glimmer of colour showing in the sky over the hills.
Over the next 30 minutes it just got better and better - even a bit of mist made an appearance at one point
