Yesterday I woke to a splendid, if not that unusual, sunrise looking from my house to the Scottish Mainland West Coast.
Within a couple of hours the sky had clouded over and the Mainland had disappeared in a sky of heavy rain.
By the early evening it was still and the Moon was reflected in a calm sea and Jupiter was visible to its right (as we look at it).
With apologies to those of you who have already been subjected to this in a different place.
ReplyDeleteVery calm. I haven't been subject to this so no need to apologise.
DeleteThanks Adrian
DeleteWhat a gorgeous sunrise shot.
ReplyDeleteOur day was broadly similar but without the heavy rain (for a change). We had a wonderful view of the moon and Jupiter too last night in a virtually cloudless sky.
Isn't it a wonderful World?
JayCee, it is a spectacularly wonderful world.
DeleteA great sequence of pictures. Thanks for sharing them Graham. You are so lucky to have a view like that - forever changing and somehow taking you away from yourself.
ReplyDeleteThanks, YP. I never cease to be thankful for where I live.
DeleteSplendid entertainement from Nature. Your view has more beauty than any movie or TV screen.
ReplyDeleteMaywyn, nature gives us so much and it's a shame we don't always appreciate it and look after it.
DeleteHow beautiful - reminds me a little of a west Cumbrian day - constantly changing.
ReplyDelete"A different place" - have you started another blog?
Jayne, I don't have enough time (ie I don't allocate enough time) for my existing blog so I certainly haven't started another one. I very occasionally use Facebook though and that's where I posted this sequence.
DeleteWhat an amazing sunrise! I have never seen anything like it. The fact that they are not unusual in your corner of the world amazes me even more. The moon picture is perfect.
ReplyDeleteDebby, I am fortunate in that I have an uninterrupted view to the eastern horizon and sunrise.
DeleteAren't you fortunate to have such a fabulous view!?! You must count your lucky stars each day that views like those are "normal" for you! Thanks for sharing your lovely sights!
ReplyDeleteEllen, I do indeed count my lucky stars every day.
DeleteBeautiful. Especially the mountains silhouetted against the sunrise. Xx
ReplyDeleteYes, Jules, as you know I am very fond of mountains - close up or far away.
DeleteGorgeous views no matter the time of day. Of course the sunrise appeals to me most, as I do have a thing for sunrises and sunsets. Did you take advantage of the gardening hours to make your garden ready for winter?
ReplyDeleteMeike, I take the opportunity whenever I can steal an hour here and there to make the garden ready for winter. I rarely succeed in doing all that I want to do though.
DeleteAs close to heaven as I could imagine.
ReplyDeleteNan, if that were heaven then I'd be well satisfied.
DeleteYou live in a very pleasant area.
ReplyDeleteRed, I do indeed.
DeleteWhat a sunrise!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Nikki. We are very fortunate here.
DeleteLovely photos Graham, the sky is on fire in the first one.
ReplyDeleteAmy, it sometimes really feels like that.
DeleteThanks for the reminder of the beauty of your home. I give thanks that I got to experience that magnificent place.
ReplyDeleteDarn! I've gone undercover again. Pauline
DeleteHi Pauline. I assumed that it was you but I didn't get around to responding yesterday. I'm very glad that you have. Uppity Downity missive on way ie one inspired by them thar hills.
DeleteI could look out a window like that all day, every day
ReplyDeleteKylie, that's the problem - so could I.
DeleteThat sunrise looks more beautiful than any artwork and Mother nature has a great palette for sure.
ReplyDeleteShe certainly has, Beatrice.
DeleteI woke before sunrise yesterday....around 4 am, and could not get back to sleep, so I gave up trying!
ReplyDeleteLee, on the rare occasion that I wake up and can't get back to sleep I usually get up. That then can put everything out for days!
