Seated View Of The Tor

"

The sunrise was breathtaking, casting its warm glow across the Somerset levels and illuminating the iconic  Glastonbury Tor on the horizon. The crisp winter air was refreshing and certainly cleared my thoughts.

I reached Ham Wall nature reserve in Somerset, England before the sun rose. Every winter, around 10,000 starlings nest here in the reeds and wetlands, attracting visitors from near and far. 

With no specific plan in mind, I decided to keep things simple and only brought my camera, a single lens, extra batteries, and my tripod.

During my exploration, I chatted with a few bird watchers, and walkers, and even had a chance to talk photography with another chap here to capture some landscape photography. 

The sunrise was breathtaking, casting its warm glow across the Somerset levels and illuminating the iconic Glastonbury Tor on the horizon. The crisp winter air was refreshing and certainly cleared my thoughts.

As I continued my wanderings, I stumbled upon a remembrance bench with a wonderful view of Glastonbury Tor rising above the reeds and marsh.

As I stood there, taking in the peaceful stillness of the morning, I couldn't help but feel grateful to be surrounded by such natural beauty.

I always find these benches to be touching and took a moment to read the plaque, which was particularly poignant given that I had just heard of the passing of someone I was very fond of.

The serenity of the location and the view from the bench felt like the image I was meant to capture that morning. I spent a good 30 minutes taking in the tranquility and capturing the scene, simply being present in the moment.
