The moorings A wonderful sunrise reflected in the River Arun at Arundel in Sussex, the clouds had some beautiful reds and yellows as the sunrise unfolded.
In the morning light After shooting the sunrise along the River Arun ( more to come ) We noticed the light on the walls of Arundel castle as the sun was rising,it was just amazing how warm that light was but we had to move fast to find a suitable spot to shoot through in case that light faded away, I just managed it in time before that wondrous light did fade.
Arundel castle From a bend in the river Arun, not really the shot that I wanted but a tall thick hedge would not part for me, I wanted to get a good clear shot to follow the river down to the castle but the hedge was impenetrable , I have another to post another time.

Arundel castle in Autumn Arundel Castle has descended through the d'Albinis, the Fitzalans and the Howards and has been the seat of the Dukes of Norfolk and their ancestors for over 850 years. The oldest part is the motte and bailey constructed in 1068. During the Civil War the castle was badly damaged by both Royalists and Parliamentarians. Nothing was done to repair this damage until 1718 when the 8th Duke of Norfolk carried out some repairs. The 11th Duke carried out further restoration, but the current building owes much the 15th Duke of Norfolk, who completed a restoration project in 1900 and therefore the interior has a Victorian feel.
