Trees silhouetted against the band of gold and purply grey clouds in yesterday's windy dawn. Today it is cool and grey with rain waking me up just after 6am. The rain will be very welcome as the soil had really started to dry up with those lovely warm spring days.
Yesterday was 11 September, 19 years since the world changed with the downing of the twin towers and attack on the USA Pentagon. The war on terror has now been replaced by a war on Coronavirus! The damage to the economy and people's lives has been infinitely worse with that smallest of natural enemies.

Dawn breaks on the River Thames, providing a magnificent natural backdrop to gems of architecture from Sir Christopher Wren's baroque St Paul's Cathedral, the elegant art deco Oxo Tower, the 1980s Weetabix boxes in the core of the Square Mile, and weird modern shapes like the Walkie Takie and the Cheese Grater. In the distance, the new, or at least new-er, financial district at Canary Wharf can also be seen.
With a clear blue sky morning and the sun peeping through the trees daybreak delivers dawns reflective beauty !
Pushing on that trigger is like pulling magic into my very soul...Darrell.
Have a safe and delightful day dear Flickr friends !
I prefer a subtle sunrise when you turn your camera away from the rising sun...especially when there is a bit of mist and some interesting oak trees involved. Near Blyton, Lincolnshire.

Not usually my normal type of photography…. pure seascapes! But, its always good to practice something different because you may end up with something that you actually like!

Rainbow over Godafoss (Falls of the Gods) soon after dawn on very brisk September morning.
So how did it get this name? In the year 999 or 1000 the lawspeaker Þorgeir Ljósvetningagoði made Christianity the official religion of Iceland. According to a modern myth, it is said that upon returning from the Alþingi, Þorgeir threw his statues of the Norse gods into the waterfall. The story of Þorgeir's role in the adoption of Christianity in Iceland is preserved in Ari Þorgilsson's Íslendingabók. "Íslendingabók", however, makes no mention of Þorgeir throwing his idols into Goðafoss. A window in Akureyrarkirkja, the Cathedral of Akureyri, illustrates this story.
The glorious dawn was greeted by the rapturous choir of birdsong, hundreds of avian voices filling the morning air.
Now at long last dawn has come,
and the night is overthrown.
The clouds run from the rising light,
as dark skies scatter before the morning's calm.
This brightness is my true delight,
and my happiness rests upon it.

I'm not sure if the "ying ying" rhythm of a class 66 engine counts in the dawn chorus but 66743 slowly makes its way with the 6S45 0715 North Blyth Alcan Gbrf to Fort William Alcan Gbrf away from North Blyth terminal to start its approximately 12 hour journey to Fort William. 16-01-25.
