Few more rays of morning before entering the shadows again. I know that the path will lead me there, sooner or later. At least it is with welcoming gateway of light embracing me before falling into darkness.

Thank you to all who fave or comment on my photos it is much appreciated.

An old willow with autumn leaves braves the water of Lake Tekapo, New Zealand.

In the background the last sunrays paint the mountain range of Mount Dobson in shades of orange and violett.

7 days of rain, snow and clouds, but on the last day during a hike the sun came through after a rainshower.

Sunray was an anti-gravity racer in the mid to late 21st century. Light and fast, with a large engine, it won a series of races. However, its main fame came from its bright and distinctive colour scheme.
