With a temperature of -5 setting off in the dark you never really know what you are going to find or if a sunrise is on the cards so you can imagine my delight when faced with a scene like this when arriving at Pindale 45 minutes before the sunrise. The mist in the valley looked fantastic turning a soft pink as the pre dawn light lit up the sky and reflected across the heavy frost making perfect conditions for photography with even the cement works looking majestic emerging from the mist.
