Milltown Cemetery at dawn

Photo taken by Stuart Borthwick, shortly after dawn, 18 October 2014

Stuart says:

I am fascinated by the quality of light at dawn in Milltown Cemetery, West Belfast. For those who do not know it, the entrance to the cemetery is at the junction of Falls Road and Glen Road, with the cemetery itself sloping downwards, towards the M1 motorway. The sun rises over the silhouetted horizon of East Belfast, and shines its first light on the Divis Mountain to the west.
