Another Long Night

Funnily enough, the drive to these highest roads was pretty much the same as yesterday, but now I have arrived a little later and just in time to see the last of the sunset. It's colder tonight too, but not by much - it's the wind chill really.

I have decided to head for the same location because that viewpoint is so good and having checked my photos I want to try again. Not that yesterday's were rubbish, I simply want to experience that again. Sad, or what!

There are more people and cars tonight but that doesn't mean it's crowded up here, but when a car passes it does ruin things and you have to retake the photo. I'm sure I will have ruined a photo when I arrived and parked. The photos give examples of this and it's no problem, until someone just parks for ages and can't be bothered to turn off their headlights. This is so annoying because it ruins everyone's night vision. To keep it, we work in the dark as much as possible and use red head torches when needed.

I guess the photos tonight look a bit samey, but I have other compositions which I'll process when I'm home.

So, another long night and again it was 5am before I slept. The photography bit is fine, it's the almost 90 minutes drive back that drains what energy remains, but I'm loving it, especially as it warmed up when the wind dropped.Read more
