Driving 8hrs through the night for the perfect sunrise.

St Michaels Mount Sunrise // Little Escape // Episode 11 // Cornwall It's always worth making the effort to catch the sunrise, even if in my case it means driving 8hrs through the night. A very last minute phone call and a couple of emails I was heading down to Cornwall for a week. I'd been to the south-west as a child but couldn't remember much apart from the blue sea and sandy beaches. After spending a couple of hours researching a few locations, I knew I wanted to visit St Michaels Mount for sunrise. I quickly packed my gear, jumped in the car and started the long 8hr drive down to Cornwall, I left home at 10pm and made good time arriving in Marazion just after 6am. The morning was beautifully still with the waves gently lapping onto the shore, I watched the early morning mist slowly clear and the sun break through. The sky turned slowly from a mesmerising pink to orange and finally blue. Here's what I captured that morning.
