Knapps Loch Sunrise

During the spell of good weather we have been having the past week, I decided it was time to get back up to Knapps Loch to capture a sunrise.  On calm mornings when overnight temperatures are low, misty conditions are almost guaranteed.

A 4am rise saw us arrive at Knapps Loch just after 5am, nearly an hour before sunrise.  We were greeted with loads of mist rolling over the loch.  In fact at times the three boats on the Loch were completely hidden by the mist!

The first image is taken not long after we arrived as the sky started to lighten with the rising of the sun.

Another image taken just a few minutes before sunrise.

Although it would have been perfect if the rising sun had lit up the underneath of the mackerel clouds, we did have a  good trip with a few keepers and worth the effort of a 4am rise.
