One of the good things about an early flight is getting up early to see the sunrise. That was me yesterday morning, when the world outside was mostly asleep, but I was preparing to head to the airport in Edinburgh for a flight to Cork.
This morning, the sun rose through a beautiful orange haze. This was some 600m away through the eye of a long lens, and it looked even better in real life.
The sun rose this morning a few minutes after 7am, but this is what the sky looked like about 8 minutes before. There was a glorious orange glow and the clouds were lit up from underneath by the sun coming around the globe and shining through the atmosphere.
It snowed for the first time this winter in Blarney. It was raining so, at least around here, the snow didn’t settle on the roads. All the snow is gone by this stage, but it’s cold out. Hopefully, the wet ground doesn’t freeze.
On a trip with Blarney Photography Club to the Lakes of Killarney a year ago, we photographed the water as the sun rose over the mountains in the distance.
Shortly after I sat down at my desk this morning, I looked out the window to see quite a beautiful sunrise lighting up the sky.
The top of the sky was a cool blue, moving to dark cloud lower down, then melting to a lovely orange and yellow colour before the sun rose over the distant hill.
Early one morning in Valencia, before the sun rose, I travelled to the Museu de les Ciències PrÃncipe Felipe to photograph the area.
Pictured above is the CaixaForum next door, with the graceful arch of the Pont l’Assut de l’Or bridge in front of it. They are reflected in the waters surrounding the science museum. The sun is just about to peek over the horizon, but some high-level clouds helped light the scene in lovely purples.
Technically, this is a vertical panorama and I wish I had more space as the converging lines of my perspective can be seen in the leaning buildings to the left. Maybe I should have removed them?
The good weather is well and truly gone now, so here’s a sunrise from a few days ago to remind you what the sky above the grey clouds and rain looks like. 🙂
The heatwave has broken today, but it’s still quite warm at 18C, but the rain is back. It’s like it never left!
The threatened thunderstorms never materialised in Blarney but the sky is cloudy and produced a lovely sunrise this morning around 7am. The sun rising behind the hills east of Blarney lit up the clouds with lovely warm light.
Just before the sun rose this morning, it shone on the underside of clouds on the horizon, creating a lovely glow I could see from my home office window.
In Seaside, Florida, a photowalk in September is best enjoyed in the early morning to avoid the oppressive humidity and heat that sets in later in the day. But the silver lining is that this early start allows us to witness the breathtaking sunrise over the Gulf of Mexico, casting a golden glow on the pristine white sandy beach nearby.
