A warning call from hubby on his way to work heralded a mad dash to find some foreground interest for the amazing pre-dawn skies over Manchester on the 5th of March 2025.

I didn't have time to travel far, so I elected to try and capture some of the industry at Carrington with the sunrise behind - sadly most of it lies underneath the Barton Flight Restricted Zone (FRZ), so with no time to apply for permission to enter the FRZ I did the best I could from outside it...

Nothing spectacular, but a relaxing ethereal piece of music and a quick edit and voila, not too bad if I say so myself...

What do you think?

You made the most out of this stunning sky. Nice choice of music. That starting shot was great!

Thanks, yah, that was a very opportune puddle and reflection, was a bit stuck as I wanted to fly further over, but any further towards Manchester and I would have been inside the Barton Runway extension FRZ, so had to do what I could from where I was...

Nicely done.
At least you had the tele lens to help you get 'closer'.
Beautiful colors too!

Beautiful footage Suzanne.   

The combination of footage and background music created a significant moment of awe-inspiring beauty.  Absolutely splendid job on this video.    

Nice one Suzanne looks really good

Great footage Suzanne

That is the one thing why I would consider upgrading!

Amazing skies. That reflection in the standing water at the start was inspired.

You're very welcome.  

Thanks, lost 4 stone in the last 6 months, and just started Couch to 5 K, so getting fitter, another 4 stone to loose yet, but I will get there, hopefully by the end of the year

Good luck.    I’d die if I ran 5k but I often walk 12 miles.
