We decided last night that we were going to get up before the sun rose and head for the hills in search of a gorgeous spot to have breakfast and watch the solar eclipse.
So we threw some quilts into the car along with a bowl to fill with water to watch the reflecting sun, some card to make our pin hole viewers, breakfast bowls & headed out under a blanket of mist with hope that it would clear in tow.
It was misty all the way there and little did we know that we’d climb out of the mist and be greeted by a beautiful blue sky.
Here’s how our morning looked..
I’m not great with a camera so the fully beauty wasn’t captured but the carpet of mist that sat below us sat underneath the eclipsed sun stunningly.
Our breakfast table sat alongside Tor Y Foel mountain in the Brecon Beacons with Talybont reservoir hiding in the valley beneath the mist.
As the sun rose from behind the mountain behind us it slowly kissed the misty valley..
The mist was stunning..
We had company..
with the sun fully up we set up for breakfast and filled out bowl of water ready for the eclipse..
We tried making our own eclipse with playfough on cocktail sticks..
I tried to get some photos but they didn’t do any justice..
We were only there for just over an hour but before we left the mist had cleared.
when we returned home we made our own eclipse 🙂
The views you live near are just breathtaking! x
I was surprised by how light it remained during the eclipse. Maybe it was darker further north? Did you also find the temperature suddenly plummet as the moon moved in front?
Yes, the sky was like twilight but just on the horizon. It’s was pretty cool in retrospect although I think immediately afterwards it was a slight anticlimax due to what we expected and what actually occurred.
Will certainly remember it though 🙂
