Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!
This is a daily, optimistic, 'photos and comments' blog. I make no judgements (only occasionally), just notes. If you wish to comment in any way at all, please feel free. Everything and everyone (except the obdurate and dictatorial) is very welcome.
I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching).
Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
If you enlarge the photo, you will see our village church spire (bottom leftish), which is exactly 2 Kms due East of our cottage.
ReplyDeleteTerrific sunrise, Cro. What a joy to witness it, and get the photo. The blazing sky doesn't last long, does it.
ReplyDeleteGone within seconds. I try to keep a camera in my pocket at all times.
DeleteWow what a beauty
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sky. Something spring like in the air today, or maybe it's just the lighter mornings.
ReplyDeleteThat can really be called 'the magic of the moment'!
ReplyDeleteSunrises and sunsets such as that must have terrified the ancients when they didn't know what caused them (during the nineteen forties and fifties).
ReplyDeleteStunning beastie indeed!
It's going to rain again
ReplyDeleteYou protest too much, Sir, there is nothing shabby about your photography.
ReplyDeleteBut, as Mr Heron's View hinted, was it a shabby day weatherwise after that magnificent sunrise? Red sky in the morning and all that...
I think it did rain, and was bloody cold.
DeleteOh, and good luck when you come before the beak tomorrow.
DeleteYour photographs are always good but...get the camera...you don't have to tell us.
ReplyDeleteI've always thought that they look OK from my end, but how they come out in the US, Canada, or Angola, I have no idea! I use a small Fuji AX200. €70.
DeleteThe most amazing sunrise is the one we last saw. I am grateful for them all.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. You camera does fine!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kat -- love your photos. This sunrise is magnificent. Makes me wish I'd get up early to enjoy them more often. But then again....
ReplyDeletebeautiful
ReplyDeleteyour pictures always look beautiful, and this one is no exception. It's gorgeous. Looks like the sky is on fire.
ReplyDeleteStaggering indeed!
