Winter by the River

River Aln, Alnwick, Northumberland
Although the weather was extremely cold, I set out with the intention of catching Alnwick Castle with a sunrise. What I didn't expect was to find this opportunity to catch a moment by the River Aln. Just before the sunrise the clouds changed to this wonderful red, but i was photographing up by the bridge so a quick sprint to get down to river and I arrived exhuasted but in good time to catch the colours and the refelction. One thing i'll say about this is I really did suffer for this photo, spending two hours in -5c temperature is not something I would recommend to anyone! This Landscape photograph works particularly well as a panoramic a good size canvas print would be something like a 36"x 18" for anybody interested follow the link to this River Aln photograph.

Slightly earlier and slightly colder, I managed to take this picture of the castle itself, pleased that I was in time to catch the castle floodlit. But also extremely satisfied with the end result the reflections of the trees framing the castle effectively.
