I set the alarm early this morning, wondering if I’d be able to see the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter in the pre-dawn sky. Alas, no, they were too close to the rising sun.

Instead I experimented with my iphone, held in front of binoculars, as the sun rose above the horizon. I then reset my alarm and had another hour in bed before the start of my working week 🙂IMG_7661IMG_7664IMG_7663IMG_7666

I have learnt a new word today:
ev·a·nes·cent (adjective) – “Soon passing out of sight, memory, or existence; quickly fading or disappearing.”

The rapidly changing colours before dawn seem perfect for this word. Here are some Hobart sunrises that I have snapped this month.IMG_0246IMG_0536IMG_0563

These 2 photos are 8 minutes apart.IMG_0044IMG_0048

This is an original photo, no editing. Followed by a “cold tone” edit which I think highlights the actual sun rays.XTLP0628XTLP0628-2

Here’s to a brand new day, new hopes, new opportunities. Wishing everyone a good day.
