the sunrise to end all sunrises
After nearly forty years of trouble-free driving, I picked up my first speeding fine the other week.
Driving up to our "Paradise" at 4.30am I was pinged by a speed camera in the middle of nowhere. No excuses. But 44 in a 40 in the dead of the night on a dead straight, dead quiet country road which until very recently had a 60mph limit on it is, I think, taking the proverbial a little.
Anyway, at least I got a decent photo. Did I say decent? What I really mean is spectacular!

My law breaking "dash" to the mountains was rewarded with the sun rising over Pen y Fan and Corn Du - the highest mountains in the southern British Isles. It literally had me gasping in amazement.
I hope my image conveys the feelings I had that morning. Well, the positive ones anyway.
I now await my fate. I'd imagine summary execution is on the cards.

Spectacular indeed! WOWZA!!!!! (BTW, over here you have to be going at least 5 mph over the limit before they can ticket you.....or so I've been told!)
