Sunrise, Not Toothpaste


A shock non-Moon photo from the smallest room
  What better way to begin the month than with a sunrise?  Albeit one from January, but still...

  The Little Witch pointed out this beautiful sunrise through the smallest room's window as I was supervising her teeth-brushing (i.e. making sure she wasn't going to smear toothpaste over the walls and my towels).  It was so lovely that I just had to pop down the road to get some photos unencumbered by telegraph poles and the like.






No, those aren't seagulls - they're pteradactyls.  And I have no idea where they've come from.


I can't tell whether this is the vaguest of rainbows, or just an arc of cloud?
It did appear directly opposite the sun, and was a lot brighter before I took this photo, so I'm leaning towards rainbow.






  There.

  1. My neighbours all had too many lights on last for pictures of the Super-Blue-Blood moon, but it was lovely. I managed a hazy shot of the setting moon at 4.30...https://scontent.fbne2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-0/s206x206/27331638_10156183967661869_4286057270638413208_n.jpg?oh=6d46d0ec0832a6a58bf241f83c20348d&oe=5B1CB939 looks like a link to end the world, but it works

    1. "a link to end the world" - Ha! Doesn't it just! But it was worth a click (although the image is a little small - I don't know if it's my computer, or the image itself?). You won't particularly like this, but it reminds me of the opening scenes from Star Trek III: The Search For Spock - the sun shining through the mist over the jungles of the Genesis Planet.

      Also: Half four in the morning?!? Was that a very late night or a very early morning?

  2. Wow! What gorgeous and stunning fotos! I love the magnificent and vibrant colors! Definitely coffee book worthy! Shoot! They're also postcards and calendars and T shirt worthy! Meaning these aren't just art, it's valuable, fantastic art that people would buy! Spectacular scenes!

    Thank goodness the pterodactyls weren't eating people, although that would've made some amazing fotos.

    Great job! The Littlest Witch has an excellent eye for beauty. She must've gotten that from you.

    1. Right. I'm quitting the day job to make pots of cash from stationery and T-shirts!

  3. Right, I'm moving to Norfolk to help with the stationery, and to see the glorious sun.
    I might wear a T-shirt.

    1. I'll make a bit of room at my desk for you. Just beware of the pterodactyls when you go out. There's no warning when they attack, not even a murmur(ation)...

Tickle my fancy, why don't you?
