I set off after dinner and headed to one of the many camping sites adjacent to Furesø (lake). Locating a spot I settled down to relax, drinking tea and enjoying the evening.

As the light faded, the clouds gradually gained the pink hue as the sun set. The birds began to seek their homes for the night, while I sat wrapped up in my Astucas Poncho, watching the ever-changing sky and the movement of the birds.

I awoke early in the morning and quickly recognised that I had the perfect location for the sunrise, and with minimal effort I could settle down to watch the changing cloud patterns which provided the canvas for the changing colours in the sky.

Gradually the sun approached as early morning cloud drifted across the sky.

The forever changing light and cloud shapes had me clicking away looking for that one perfect shot.

Whether I got the perfect shot or not, is not important it was the ability to be able to witness the sunrise on such a beautiful morning, that made my day.

The sun lit up forest and the lake surrounds as the birds welcomed the new day.

Before long there was activity on the lake, firstly the water birds soon followed by the kayakers and rowers in their sleek sculls.

As the forest came alive to cyclists, joggers and walkers it was time to leave, after another relaxing and reinvigorating night out.
