"Door to the Heavens" Durdle Door, Dorset

December 2015 - I didn’t want the usual starburst normally seen for the December sun rising through the door, and opted for something different. The storm clouds didn’t clear anyway until the sun was too high and I had to keep low to see the sun poke its head above the clearing cloud bank. When it did I was rewarded with a burst of light shining across the beach for a couple of minutes before disappearing again behind the clouds, followed by rain for the rest of the day.
