Dawn in the Saône valley at Fleurie in the Beaujolais region. The sun rising over Jura mountains and the first mists of autumn in the valley of the river Saône. Usually this would be the time to harvest the grapes but the 2016 vintage is delayed due to hailstorms earlier in the year: Fleurie 2016

Seen over the garden wall: sunflowers and an empty but used wine glass on a blue gingham tablecloth on a table surrounded by garden chairs. The evidence of a good time last night. One thinks of the host finishing a bottle alone in the cool late at night after the two friends had gone home...

Dawn sunshine colouring the Grande Tête de l'Obiou (2790 m.) in the Dévoluy Massif, seen here from Boustique, a little hamlet above Corps. The dramatic rocky peak of L'Obiou is a prominent landmark on the Route Napoléon, a road much favoured by bikers for its sweeping curves and challenging climbs and descents.

Arnside is famous for its sunsets over the estuary of the River Kent as it meets the sea at over Morecombe Bay. Here's a view of the dawn upstream of a dawn railway train on the viaduct crossing the River Kent, Lakeland fells and Pennines in the background, birds feasting on the exposed mud below.
Here's my postcard from a previous hiking visit to Arnside.
