After an evening of deliberating where we should go due to a mixture of different clouds in the forecast, combined with the challenge of motivation for a 4am start, we decided to go to the Wallfahrtskirche Wilparting, a church I have driven past countless times on the A8. While it did look good from a forecast point of view, the proximity to Munich was also a draw as this meant we could have a lie in until 5am.
As we were leaving Munich with a thick bank of dark cloud to our south I was not feeling optimistic, but thankfully we drove just about far enough east to get out of it and allow the horizon to become free. This led to an absolutely stunning sky which appeared to be on fire, and as the sunrise progressed we were treated to a spectacular show and also some strange effects of shadows on the higher cloud from the lower clouds.
After the best of the light had passed, we headed to the local service station where there is an excellent coffee shop which roasts its own coffee to warm up and energise ourselves for the day of photography ahead.
