The sun has yet to strike the mountains on the horizon as the excess of magenta shows. Things happen fast though and the color doesn't last long.

Inútilmente interrogas.
Tus ojos miran al cielo.
Buscas detrás de las nubes,
huellas que se llevó el viento.
Buscas las manos calientes,
los rostros de los que fueron,
el círculo donde yerran
tocando sus instrumentos.
Nubes que eran ritmo, canto
sin final y sin comienzo,
campanas de espumas pálidas
volteando su secreto,
palmas de mármol, criaturas
girando al compás del tiempo,
imitándole la vida
su perpetuo movimiento.
Inútilmente interrogas
desde tus párpados ciegos.
¿Qué haces mirando a las nubes,
José Hierro?

Borgarfjörður is a fjord in the west of Iceland near the town of Borgarnes. The waters of Borgarfjörður appear to be calm, however the fjord is on the contrary a rather dangerous part of the sea because of its undercurrents and shallows.
There are many flat islands lying in the fjord, but for the most part they are uninhabited.
The land around the fjord has been inhabited since the time of Icelandic settlement. Events in the Icelandic sagas such as that of Egill Skallagrímsson are situated here.
The name of the fjord seems to come from the farm of Borg, which according to the sagas was founded by Egill's father Skallagrímur, who took the land around the fjord and accordingly gave the fjord the name of Borgarfjörður.
. . better known as Wat Arun (or Wat Arunratchawararam Ratchaworamahavihara Thai: วัดอรุณราชวรารามราชวรมหาวิหาร to give it its full name).

Took this one on Tuesday this week but due to work commitments,havent had time to review. It certainly was a pretty stunning morning but unforunately I chose I location which didn't really suit! But anyway, I got a couple of snaps so here is one. A Single exposure using a Cokin GND8 for the sky.....and Yep... I got wet. Actually got a couple of nice water patterns at this position and chose this one but I may post another at a later date.
Thanks for looking as always!
