I set the theme for today’s edition of K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge, knowing that I was getting up early for work yesterday and hoping I could capture something to do justice to the prompt; Break of day.
Well I wasn’t disappointed, because there was some suitably atmospheric fog adorning the Devon countryside on my drive home; with the imposing Castle Hill house and gardens, (Fortescue family seat, currently home to Lady Arran) providing a dramatic landmark amongst the rolling hills and ancient trees.
It certainly is worth getting up early sometimes, when the world is still waking up, you get to witness nature at its best.
See what K’lee has in store HERE.
Now it’s time for you early birds to show us what photographic worms you caught for us…
*****
To get involved with the challenge, post a photo to your blog on Monday, add a pingback to this post (or to K’lee’s) and don’t forget to tag your post #CosPhoChal.
Alternatively, add a link to your blog in the comments of either mine or K’lee’s post and we’ll come and check out your entry.
Any and all effects, editing, Photoshop, Instagram, morphing, collages or whatever other post production techniques you fancy are permitted, (in fact, they’re actively encouraged!) so get creative and turn your photos into artworks for the Cosmic Photo Challenge.

I liked all those trees in the landscape especially the last one with the birds flying away.

Cheers, Frank.
Those damn crows; they were all sat in the tree and I tried to creep up on them, intending to startle them and capture them ALL flying off.
But they saw me coming and those last few were all that was left by the time I got the shot.

That they are flying away looks amazing. The tree is shaped in such a way that it looks like it is flying away as well. Very nice photo.

There are a lot of those wind-sculpted trees out on the moors, some of them are very spectacular shapes.
