wonderful weather with lots of sun, but also kinda cold, there was a thin layer of ice on the water here in the Bieslandse Bos.

There is nothing quite like the feeling of standing on a beautiful stretch of the beach in the calm serenity of morning watching entranced by the magnificence of nature’s light show. The slow, steady and inevitable movement of the sun as it pours through the point on the horizon and gradually pulls itself into shape as the warm and life giving ball of light that we are all so familiar with.
I stand there and my mind drifts off to think about the physics that go into making that shot. It’s all very strange to think that the photons that are hitting my camera sensor left the surface of the sun eight minutes and ten seconds earlier and in fact the giant ball of gas is already high in the sky but we just can’t see it yet. The life of those photons actually started deep inside the sun and they have been beavering their way to the surface since before any humans walked the earth. A photon is created as a bi-product of the fusion reactions going on inside the core of the sun when Hydrogen is fused into Helium. The photon then spends anything from 50,000 to 500,000 years being bounced around in the solar soup of Hydrogen and Helium trying to avoid being re-absorbed and make it the 700,000 kilometres to the surface and freedom. For every single photo that escapes there were countless trillions that were pulled back into a hydrogen nucleus and made to start again.
So next time you are standing there enjoying the spectacle that is a beautiful sunrise think about the time and energy that went into make it all happen and then realise that the little effort you need to put in to getting through the day is a drop in the ocean in comparison the poor photon that we all take so for granted.
A glorious morning on the Gold Coast. I didn't think I would get any colour but Mother Nature always surprises :)

Wildfire smoke has made for hazy, ugly skies in Omaha, NE...except for at sunset and sunrise, when a giant red "ball" appears in the sky. This tame, city deer posed for me and let me move around to get him in line with the sun.

Knowing a couple trains were out of Spokane on the Washy, after spending the morning on the BNSF Oregon Trunk Sub I headed for Joso. It was a gamble, and a long drive. With full sun I could have surrendered and hung out in the Columbia River Gorge and had a somewhat guaranteed good afternoon. But, I rolled the dice. I can't remember if it's timetable eastbounds or northbounds, but bottom line was the only two trains to show up before sunset were in the wrong direction for the light. Once the shadows took over I relocated to below the bridge, cracked a beer, and held out hope for a silhouette. After waiting another hour or so after sunset, nothing showed and I headed for a hotel in Moses Lake. No train, but it was still a gorgeous scene, and a good motivation to return and get what I came for next time.

Well not exactly. First it is identifiable - namely, it is the sun shining through a cloud of smoke. Secondly - the sun may travel from east to west but it definitely does not fly. Thirdly, - well I suppose you could call it an object.
Seen from the boat on our return journey across Laguna del Tesoro.
This was actually taken earlier than it looks in the day, but the sun was dropping surprisingly quickly !

For the morning sun in all its glory
Greets the day with hope and comfort too
You fill my life with laughter
And somehow you make it better
Ease my troubles that's what you do
There's a love that's divine
And it's yours and it's mine like the sun
And at the end of the day
We should give thanks and pray
To the One, to the One
