It most certainly was a privilege to be shooting this object. Liz and I had a good time out there. The sky just opened up for us and hardly a cloud was in sight, until later on. A bit of ground fog built up as the sun was coming up (the usual early morning predawn drop in the dew point). Actually there was a bit of a nip to the air but as we came back into town, you could notice the difference as the air was warm there. Took a pair of binoculars and another camera out with me to get right into it, but I was that right into it I forgot about them entirely!!!!!.
Might try again from up at the local park which is just up the road from my place, in a day or two's time. Going to have a good night's sleep tonight!!!!
