258/365v2 The Orwell Bridge

13/52 Moonrise on Hatfield Forest Lake

I’ve been keen to shoot the stars and I had some limited success with this but the moon coming up over the lake at Hatfield Forest was quite beautiful. It’s amazingly quiet in the forest at this time of night…except for the roar of the jet engines and smell of
