Aloft

"Nothing is more beautiful than the loveliness of the woods before sunrise."

George Washington Carver


Early dawn adds blue-tinged 'sky light' to the tops of the inverted cloud base above the Follaton Plains to the west of Totnes, Devon.

High above, the retreating easterly stormfront is tinged with a subtle pink glow on its ruffled canopy - heralding the imminent approach of sunrise.
