Unreal colors
2009 July 22
As much as I dislike getting up early, I enjoy the benefits of doing so. One is empty buses and trains, the other is the colors you only see at this time of day (“this time of day” being 6 am).
The sun is only just rising above the horizon, illuminating the few clouds from below, the clouds reflecting the yet weak light down onto the snow covered mountain peaks off in the distance… I never expected to use the words “shades of faded yellow and grey” in a positive way.
Then the sun clears the horizon, and what was subdued and pastel turns into a spectacle of bright yellows and oranges and whites. Nature at her most glorious!
Ah, it makes me wish I had a decent camera with me at all times.
