Sunrise shot over the river Severn towards the bridge at Ironbridge, which was the first ever cast iron bridge, opened in 1781, and a significant moment in the rise of the Industrial Revolution.

To mark the Summer Solstice, I thought I’d post this shot taken recently during my trip to Shropshire.

This is from the same view point as my previous image, though shot with a longer lens @260mm.

I’d been watching and waiting as the sun came up, hoping for it to reach the top of the hill so that it sat on its summit😎.

And yes that is a golf course in the foreground, set amongst the hills!

A shot of the Devil’s Mouth which is part of The Long Mynd section of the Shropshire Hills, looking towards Church Stretton.

I’d been there for sunrise, which didn’t really produce anything of note (I revisited a couple of days later and was rewarded with some great images, see previous posts), but once the sun came up, and the clouds started breaking up, there was some very nice light.
