The sky is the star - a photo on Flickriver

            I had not set my alarm clock or the alarm on my phone as I did not want to wake everybody else up,I had a feeling that this might be epic and judging by this mornings sunrise I called it right too, I woke around 4am and looked out the window and could see stars so at least I knew it had not clouded over, I worried about going back to sleep and missing everything.
Sunrise was at 6.25 am, but stay I did and left the house around 5am, It`s a good twenty five minute walk in darkness  to my chosen spot with all sorts of strange noises to accompany me. 
The sky was showing some colour way before sunrise as I took my first shots but I thought I this shot  to start with  as you can see by the red glow that the sun was nearly ready to pop over the hill to say good morning to Mr Canon.
This has to be the most colourful sunrise show that I have photographed and all thanks to that sand in the atmosphere from the Sahara.
 I used the exposure bracketing to shoot one shot for the sky two stops under and one standard  for my foreground and blend together .
 Shot near Tich hill  and looking towards the Adur valley where there was some mist .
