“Night's darkness is the bag that bursts with the gold of the dawn.”

This picture was shot early in the morning from Dashaswamedh (Main) Ghat in Varanasi (Benaras) when the holy waters become gold and hold a promise at dawn...

Thanks to all of you for praying for my brother-in-law Jason (my husband's brother) and for keeping him in your thoughts!
In case you did not see yesterday's photo, he had surgery for a brain tumor. It was originally thought to be 2 1/2 inches and was located above and behind his eye. It ended up being about the size of a softball. They were able to remove the entire tumor and it was benign. Please continue to remember him in your prayers as he recovers from surgery.
This is a SUPERNUMERARY RAINBOW.
Info from the wikipedia on Supernumeray Rainbows: Occasionally, another beautiful and striking rainbow phenomenon can be observed, consisting of several faint rainbows on the inner side of the primary rainbow, and very rarely also outside the secondary rainbow. They are slightly detached and have pastel colour bands that do not fit the usual pattern. They are known as supernumerary rainbows, and it is not possible to explain their existence using classical geometric optics. The alternating faint rainbows are caused by interference between rays of light following slightly different paths with slightly varying lengths within the raindrops. Some rays are in phase, reinforcing each other through constructive interference, creating a bright band; others are out of phase by up to half a wavelength, cancelling each other out through destructive interference, and creating a gap. Given the different angles of refraction for rays of different colours, the patterns of interference are slightly different for rays of different colours, so each bright band is differentiated in colour, creating a miniature rainbow. Supernumerary rainbows are clearest when raindrops are small and of similar size. The very existence of supernumerary rainbows was historically a first indication of the wave nature of light, and the first explanation was provided by Thomas Young in 1804.
I got this information from this photo of another supernumerary rainbow. I originally became aware that this was a supernumerary rainbow because of this comment by Walt K. Thanks!

This small white growth emerging from the grass shows that we we still may see Fly Agarics into November. So young it's still completely covered in the universal veil that will become the iconic white spots as the toadstool swells
clive422 made a call in December 2024 for a report on the experimental batch of nocino infusing on my bench. Without photographic evidence, that's not happening. I'm not saying I haven't sampled it. I'm saying that you deserve photographic evidence.
Instead, we should do a little more to celebrate the walnut. I've got Buckley's of ripening walnuts while sulphur-crested cockies blight our skies. My supply of that treasure comes through the post from a grower in Taswegia. What you didn't see last year was the processing of a two gallon bucket of green walnuts into jars and jars of pickled walnuts.
Now, this murky black pickle is likely a mystery to you, dear reader. There may be good cause for that. You might be ignorant of the role of the pickled walnut in English culture and gastronomy. Stop giggling; this is serious. Denigrating English cooking is a cheap shot — like easy cheese, deep fried Mars bars, chow mein, chicken tikka masala, or paua fritters in other spheres. One day, in The Big Smoke, idly picking up jars in a little curiosity shop, I almost dropped the one labelled "pickled walnuts". Really? You want people to pay what? For, like five walnuts? Good luck with that! No wonder they're a mystery.
This is where it all begins. These little female walnut flowers are the promise of next year's nocino, of pickled walnuts; the future.

Also, a very special thanks to @bestshot_photos for initial research to point me in the right direction to find info on this top bucket lister for me. Thanks L!
I had a feeling that the mist would be interesting this morning and I wasn't disappointed with the early rise, now all I need to do is whittle down the resulting shots
Saptapadi is an important ritual of a typical Hindu wedding. Also known as Seven-Vows in English during which, the Bride and Groom circumambulate a holy fire and with each of the seven rounds that they take, they both make a promise to each other. This way they make seven promises to spend their lifetime together with happiness and prosperity.
Apart from that, technically sorry for tight frame....walked in a friend's wedding with tele-zoom lens.... :(
