Sunrise, Perth 3 March 2012

[stephbg]

If one is awake at dawn one may as well check it out. Then grab a camera and make the neighbours nervous. One day I must document the view of the sky (or lack thereof) from my back yard, and then you'll see why I hang about in my driveway staring at the sky. In my pajamas. I'm a quiet neighbour, and mostly keep to myself. Mostly.



Grey turns to pink:



A wonderful selection of shapes and colours emerge:





Stray highlights and colours can appear anywhere the middle in the sky, so it's important to look around:



Towards the end of the show the colours shifted to gold, with the blue sky glowing almost white at the horizon:

Hey, good point! *goes outside to look at the sunrise*
Nope, too early. Stars are pretty though, as are your photos :)

I love dawn. Though mostly in theory, because it's the time of day during which I'm the most useless and feel the worst. These photos are beautiful.

I love the silhouettes of the trees, particularly the gum trees. The combination of the gum trees (and the palm trees, much as I dislike them) really tie the sunset to its WA-ness.

Maybe I have spent too much time leaving work too (or too early) but I feel like I haven't seen nearly as many pretty sunsets this millennium as I did the previous one. Mostly because when the sun sets there's no clouds nearby.

When I was a kid I lived close to the Swan River and not too far from the ocean, so I think that made for a lot more opportunities to spot lovely sunsets. Really good to see a nice one again!

Sunrise!

Sunrise!

I totally realised you meant sunrises, but then when I started thinking about the ones I've seen I naturally segued into thinking about sunsets, because I have not seen many sunrises...
