In Stonehenge, History

Stonehenge at dawn

By Emma Kirkup

As my alarm went off before 5am I wondered what I was doing! Wrapping up warm and heading out to my car I journeyed to Stonehenge for an early morning visit.

This visit was to be unlike the many others I have been luckily enough to do at Stonehenge. In the past I’ve visited with Paddington Bear, Shaun the Sheep and even former England rugby international Lawrence Dallaglio and I must admit every time is so different!

This time I was meeting with Igerswiltshire – a group of amateur and professional photographers who hold various meet ups across the county. Our second co-hosted event, I was very excited to see Stonehenge at dawn - something I've never done before!

As we gathered at the visitor centre the sky was just starting to change colour with glimmers of light starting to show through.

Once we were at the stones we were treated to a simply stunning sunrise gradually rising in the east from behind the heel stone! It was certainly a ‘wow’ moment and the skies changed with pinks, blues and yellow colours all emerging.

People were quietly capturing their special moments at this site whether that be by SLR, GoPro or on a phone.

Here are a few shots I managed to capture from my visit:
