"Morning Glow"
Whitby Abbey taken at 4:30 am (yawn). The first light of the day from the rising sun gave this amazing glow to the stones of this ancient building bringing it to life. Whitby is a wonderful seaside town along the North Yorkshire coast of England. This is a fascinating place to visit.

Thank you so much. I love the reflection as well. It was a great morning. For me the colour is what makes this shot. Cheers for the encouragement.

Just Breathtaking.. GREAT CAPTURE :))
Bradley Shawn ... replied
Thanks greatly. I totally agree with you. That mornings results were fantastic. I will be putting the others on another day. You are so nice to comment on so many of my photos.
Jellybean720
You are welcome.. I commented on so many cause they are all good… GREAT WORK :))
Bradley Shawn ... replied
You’re making me blush now. I just take what I love about nature and the beauty around us. I recently saw a video posted on a website that was made by a National Geographic photographer who was speaking about photographing what is right with the world – instead of focusing on the wrong or bad. I have long held that view point.
Sally P Moore
oh wow this is a really amazing capture, you must be so proud of this. If it hasn’t been featured it darn well ought to be.
James Godber
You’re a talented man. Definitely worth the early morning effort!!
Ann Garrett

Bradley Shawn ... replied

Hey Bradley! I love this image, its gorgeous. Your description is good for our natural light comp. Normally I would reject this image telling you that you have to add more technical stuff to the description (like at least he camera used and lens if applicable, iso, aperture, shutter speed if you have that stuff). But I liek the image too much to risk you not resubmitting it. So I’m going to accept it and trust you will at the technical stuff. ;-) So get it done or I might remove one of your legs! :-P

Bradley Shawn ... replied
Thank you so much! That is a lovely compliment. This is one of the first pictures I uploaded so I was still trying to sort out what to put in the description. I have now updated the info. I hope it is enough. If you want more, then please get in touch.
