Starlings Leave Roost (Brighton 20th January )

Still catching up on images from trip to Brighton. This was my last morning when my planned walk from Brighton along towards Shoreham was a bit delayed by the wonderful spectacle, first of the starlings leaving the old West Pier and flying off over Hove and then by the colours of the sunrise.

 

Frosty Walk in Toft (18th January)

A few images from a walk across the meadows in Toft on Wednesday morning in bright sunshine after a heavy frost. 

Brighton Sunrise

Very colourful sunrise yesterday morning - just enough cloud to give interest to the sky and some good pools to reflect it in. Several groups of swimmers braved the water while the air temperature was well below freezing

Sunset, Moonrise and Jupiter at its Nearest

I went to watch sunset and moonrise yesterday evening and to record a special astronomical event. Jupiter was closest to the earth yesterday evening  in 59 years. Jupiter will not be closer to the earth until (mark your calendars) next century, on October 7th, 2129!

Sunrise in Toft

 A few images from a recent early morning walk close to home in Toft. There was some mist to give a bit of atmosphere  but it was the golden colours that took my eye.
