Sunrise at Linwood Warren: An Amazing Nature competition entry
**This is an entry to the [Amazing Nature Competition](https://peakd.com/hive-127788/@adalger/amazing-nature-contest-september-2020-03) run by @adalger. Go check out the fantastic [Community](https://peakd.com/trending/hive-127788) to see more excellent images and articles**

I wrote a post about visiting Linwood warren a couple of years ago. We got some nice images out of it.... but capturing sunrise's can be difficult, because it is mostly dependent on the weather conditions. 

![Linwood Landscape nov0109PP.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/dannewton/0sPPkd84-Linwood20Landscape20nov-0109PP.jpg)
*1st attempt at sunrise from last year - the cloud near the horizon hid the sun from view* 

The [Last Time](https://peakd.com/hive-164221/@dannewton/landscape-linwood-warren) we were there we had a bit of low cloud near the horizon, which essentially blocked out the sun as it rose up. so we didn't get the warm orange colours we were hoping for. We decided to head back out there last week to try again. Each day the weather conditions are different, so the pictures will be different this time around. 

We arrived at 5:45AM (we had got up at 4AM, it was a very early start). The sky was just starting to change colour from black to a very dark blue, but the sun hadn't risen yet. There was some mist around, which was similar to the last trip. This time however, the clouds were in a better place...


![Linwood warren sunrise sept 20200126.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/dannewton/fkNwGcBP-Linwood20warren20sunrise20sept202020-0126.jpg)

You can already see the hint of orange in the sky...

![Linwood warren sunrise sept 20200128.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/dannewton/CBwd4LNd-Linwood20warren20sunrise20sept202020-0128.jpg)


as the time passed, the amount of orange steadily increased

![Linwood warren sunrise sept 20200133.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/dannewton/CKNUd23T-Linwood20warren20sunrise20sept202020-0133.jpg)

This image shows it at its peak... and then just after this the colours faded as the sun rose higher in the sky

**Check out this (very short) video clip I recorded while there.** 

**It was so quiet and peaceful! I am not a morning person, but even I appreciate getting up this early to experience the sunrise.**

Sunrise images achieved, we headed off round the rest of the reserve to see what we could find.

Linwood Warren is a reserve run by the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust. It features good examples of both Wet and Dry Heathland, and this type of habitat usually features Heather. Unfortunately we seem to be a few weeks late to see it at its best (ie August). Now in September, it has already started to finish flowering and the large swathes of purple have started to turn brown.

![Linwood warren sunrise sept 20200199.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/dannewton/kn72t6cV-Linwood20warren20sunrise20sept202020-0199.jpg)

We did find a few patches in reasonable condition which were worth taking pictures off. And I'll make a note to return in August next year to see the Heather at its best

![Linwood warren sunrise sept 20200206.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/dannewton/tiLYyiph-Linwood20warren20sunrise20sept202020-0206.jpg)

**Bonus Wildlife**

At this time of year (and this early in the morning there isn't a great deal of life to see). You can hear birds in the distance, and if you are very lucky you might spot a deer in the far distance. I didnt expect to see a great deal, so it was a nice surprise to see this Garden Orb-weaver (*Araneus diadematus*) sat in the middle of its web on one of the Gorse bushes nearby.

![Linwood warren sunrise sept 20200158.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/dannewton/shHHs9vB-Linwood20warren20sunrise20sept202020-0158.jpg)

I even managed to get the sunrise involved in the second picture!  

After this we headed off into the birch woodland adjacent to the Heather to see what else we could see... you'll see the results of that in a post coming soon.

These nebular creates a really cool and spooky enviroment ^^ But my favorite is the spiderweb .. I always found it so amazing how they could create such highly symetric structures out of nothing and creating the strings is an own little miracle by itself, hehe .. I am forwarding your post to OCD ^^

I'm glad you found it interesting. Agreed the spiders web is almost a miracle of nature, so delicate looking and yet so strong.

[Thank you so much for the forwarding to OCD, I have noticed you have nominated me a couple of times now, thank you for the support!]

One glance when the photo appeared I knew you had found a field of Heather, what a beautiful flower, one we did see in August when visiting many years ago.

Changing light with mist rising makes an early morning extra special being outdoors, enough light to capture amazing mood starting new day. 

Garden Orb-weaver, these spiders definitely build the most amazing webs, strong enough to use for a few days with minimal repair taking place. 

Gorgeous photography throughout your morning outing @dannewton

Thank you for your lovely comments @joanstewart!

> Gorgeous photography throughout your morning outing

When I head out with the camera, I never know what the final results will be. Sometimes its good, sometimes it isn't. 

However, on this day, *wherever* I looked there was a beautiful scene begging to be photographed. 

It was a very successful day 🙂

Early morning mists rising always special in a gentle way capturing rays, look forward to a couple more _fall out of bed early_ photography to come.

Cheers man! It was a beautiful morning, it would have been a challenge to take a picture that *wasn't* beautiful!

The web was stunning, I just wish I had seen it earlier, there would have been water droplets on it because of the mist
