A PHOTOGRAPHER has captured two mystical dawn pictures today at Glastonbury Tor.
Michelle Cowbourne not only snapped a misty phenomenon known as a Brocken spectre, but also caught an eye-catching sunbeam piercing through the monument.
Named after a German mountain where it was first noted, a Brocken spectre is a large shadow of an observer cast onto cloud or mist.
In this case, the Tor was the shape defined.
Michelle said: "Incredible morning on Glastonbury Tor.
"I have still got to go through my photos but I already know this Brocken Spectre one came out better on my phone so here it is."
Regarding her other sunrise photo, she said: "The beam of light beckoning us forward into the portal?"
Glastonbury Tor in Somerset is topped by the roofless St Michael's Tower, a Grade I listed building.
The site is managed by the National Trust and has been designated a scheduled monument.
