Pre-Dawn Brentor
I came out for the expected blood moon and partial eclipse, but the western view was full of cloud and the moon couldn’t be seen at all, so I consoled myself by taking pictures towards the east. I can be seen in the bottom left with the drone handset.

The full moon of March that denotes the end of winter, when the worms come out.

Snowy Dartmoor from Brentor Church.
The view looking out over the moor from the rear aspect of St Michael de Rupe atop Brent Tor. Not an extensive view admittedly, the snow was closing in again at this point!

Brentor Church Winter.
A rare bit of snow in these parts showing St Michael de Rupe, high on Dartmoor, at its most bleak. The impenetrable grey, the biting wind and the horizontal snow eventually beat me and I returned home with little to show for my efforts.

Brentor
Brentor church So today being the first day of my week off work I decided to set up an alarm for 3.45am to get up and ready for sunrise, I'm still feeling it now and not sure I can do it again this week unless it really looks promising 😂 😴 Didn't quite pop and light up this morning as hoped but still came away with some golden hour light when the sun peeped through eventually for about 2 minutes. I like it
