On arrival at the heath, already some pink in the sky,07:38:37
The bandstand with the dawn sky.07:38:55
Maybe this is a nicer composition than the previous photo.07:40:46
The little viewpoint just before the top of Parliament Hill, where the skyline is nicely framed by trees.
07:40:50
07:43:42
Now at the top of Parliament Hill. Quite a contrast between the majestic sky and the grandeur of the London skyline vs the sea of mud in the foreground.07:43:45
Zoomed in to crop out the mud.07:43:48
07:43:57
Zoomed in on the London skyline here. You can very clearly make out a bunch of notable buildings.07:44:12
...and a load of cranes.07:44:57
I didn't want to get in anyone else's way so I spent a lot of my time here standing back from the path a bit, and consequently in some of these photos it felt like I was taking pictures of other people watching the sunrise, rather than just me watching the sunrise myself.07:44:59
Someone of a more poetic nature than I might try and ascribe some meaning to that.
07:45:07
However some people in the foreground just help provide a bit more photographic interest and give more options for different compositions to play around with.07:45:43
Lots of joggers stopped as they passed the top of Parliament Hill to look at the sunrise.07:45:55
07:46:23
07:47:54
Gradually more people arrived to watch.07:48:00
07:49:27
07:52:22
07:52:49
Pastel shades.07:53:33
07:56:14
07:56:35
07:58:09
Colours changing now.07:58:33
The sun starting to poke out from behind Canary Wharf.08:01:01
Pinks turning to orange.08:01:06
08:01:58
08:02:03
Very orange now.08:02:09
I zoomed out again to get a sense of the broader scene.08:02:12
08:02:29
From now on you're going to have to accept this sort of lens flare effect I'm afraid.08:02:37
Definitely the sun there.08:03:24
08:03:30
08:03:38
08:03:42
08:03:58
08:04:11
It's odd the way it reflects the sun like that, presumably something to do with the mirrors inside the camera or somesuch.
08:04:21
08:04:34
08:04:39
Running out of things to say.08:05:05
08:05:12
08:05:24
08:07:17
08:07:21
08:07:36
08:08:39
The bench I was standing next to, lit up nicely by the morning sun.08:09:07
08:10:39
I decided I'd seen the best of it by this point and it was time to head back.
08:14:54
A few more shots on the way down Parliament Hill.08:14:59
