Taken on the morning of 3rd September 2005, this image was captured from West Hill, opposite Corfe Castle. Getting in position for the sunrise meant a 5am start and a steep climb in the dark before reaching a suitable vantage point. The slight mist in the air that morning gave an unusual orange tint to the sky which also held back the harshness of the sun. This was one of a number of shots taken with a zoom lens and filters but contrast problems before and after the sun was at this point, meant the details were often lost in the foreground or the sky became overexposed.
A Royalist stronghold during the English Civil War, Corfe Castle was subsequently destroyed with explosives by the Parliamentarians with many of the building materials used in the local properties. Corfe also provides a stop on the Swanage Steam Railway and has many interesting walks and buildings in and around its historic location.
