Explore #11 23/08/2021: Good Morning Heather

            Rockford Common, New Forest National Park.

Been rather fed up with the weather recently so when I saw the forecast showed a chance of a possible bluehour shot  I set my alarm for 03:30am to get down to Rockford Common in the New Forest. Arrived to find a lot of cloud on the horizon so went and shot some compositions and then decided to go for a walk. I decided to shoot the path in the photo and almost got caught by surprise when the cloud broke on the horizon. I saw the sun above the hill before it reached my camera so quickly thought 'sunstar' and got shooting. I know sunstars are a bit cliché but I like them 😉  

Rockford Common is an area of open heathland and woodland, grazed by livestock belonging to local commoners. The area is rich in wildlife and has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). It's one of THE places to go in The New Forest for heather and the heather is certainly looking good at the moment.
