SUNRISE SUNDAY

It is simply amazing what tranquility exists during the pre-dawn hours each day. Simply sitting in the dark on the balcony each morning well before sunrise each day. There is not even a bird stirring at 4 am, magically they come alive about 5 am, then all of nature seems to spring to life the closer you get to 6:30-7am. All with the sunrise each morning. The quiet hours in the early morning really is a restful and contemplative time “ALONE WITH GOD”.

 

Well this morning something told me to get my camera and I would see the skies come alive and I did, at least it was a special time for me this morning. The sky changes so rapidly at times, it makes me want to learn to use the (what I call rapid fire function) I am sure someone will write and tell me the correct term.

I will not write further the pictures can say it all.

 

 

 

Pre-Dawn Sky with a bright moon (much larger and brighter) than the photograph shows, the first picture is the eastern sky, the moon is the western sky.

 

 

How rapidly the sky can change from fluffy and whispy pink to sold cold dark and grey blue.

 

 

FIRE IN THE SKY!

   

GOLDEN RAYS OF SUNSHINE!
