Sunrise over St Mary's IOS



On my last day on the Isles of Scilly I went to watch the sunrise.  I should have flown back to Newquay yesterday but the airport here on St Mary's was fog bound. Being a small aircraft, weather conditions must be just right, so flights are often delayed or cancelled. I had been warned it might happen so made arrangements to spend another night on the island knowing the weather would be perfect for flying the next day.
























Then it was back to the B and B for breakfast before leaving for the airport. I have loved my first visit to the Scilly Isles and I have a feeling it won't be my last.

    I simply adored these islands, too. Just a perfect place, and that sunrise was spectacular! :-)

    A beautiful sunrise and fog bound airways made it worth spending another day on the Scilly Isles

    Lucky you to be fog bound. The sun looks like a flame dipping into the ocean.

    Looks like a fireball falling in the sea ! so it could only be a sunrise anyway just beautiful and the rocky landscape too ! Exactly to my taste !
    My friends and I will go to Düsseldoft see the Christmas market there. We are going by bus all organized. Probably I will play translator and advisor for Christmas cookies, yesterday I introduced them to Christmas Pudding and Christmas log from the British shop !

    What a lovely way to start the day, and nice to see the sunrise instead of the sunset :)

    I’d say that sunrise was worth staying for! I love the smooth boulders around the lighthouse.

    Wow! The extra day was worth it! Good idea to make just-in-case arrangements though on an island like that.
