I'm very lucky with our Cambridge Tent Displays that the field we use is East facing. This gives me the opportunity to get up early and view the rising sun. The added bonus of the large unobstructed skies just adds to the experience. Here are a couple of photos from the last couple of days, and what a difference some passing cloud makes!

Yesterday afternoon when I got in and checked my social media, there were a few posts about the moonrise and the fact it was due to be a full moon. So grabbing my camera kit, I donned by walking boots and made across the fields at the back of our house to hopefully capture the moonrise over one of our local farms.  Below is my picture - the metering was thrown out by their tennis court floodlights but it does really add to the atmospherics. One of the things that I have always wanted do is to attend a Dark Skies Festival Event . They are all over the UK and mainly in the National Parks. I've linked to them here as it may be something others may have done and can recommend or would like to do.

For those of you who follow on Facebook  you will have probably learnt over the past week that I have turned the wrong side of 39. Saw it happening, but was powerless to stop odometer clocking 40! As a present my family gave me a digital SLR camera that I had been hankering after for a while to which I was absolutely delighted. I have just signed up to the 365 Project - "Document everyday of your life in a year with a photo". This link takes you through to my recent photos (Hopefully they'll improve):  http://365project.org/campingking/365   The reason I'm posting about it, is that it makes you take a photo each day! It gets you out the house or on your lunch break, and if you are into photography, there are some seriously spectacular photos to view, all searchable via tags. Enjoy!
