As the sun came up, more fog formed. For a minute or two
the golden globe completely disappeared. I walked up to
the highest point in the vineyard and saw this.

The finale — a couple of minutes later the sky was blue and
the sun was too bright for me to photograph it.
The whole event lasted maybe 10 minutes

So beautiful! You get quite a show at sunrise and Callie gets her walk about also. I can understand why ancient people worshipped the sun.
ReplyDeleteIt's a blustery unsunny day in 'Bama, but the daffodils are starting to emerge.
Absolutely gorgeous photos. Why don't I ever see sunrises like this? I must be out there at the prime time, because it's dark when I'm driving to work, but the sun is up when I arrive :) It must be behind me, eh?

Beautiful sunrises. I haven't seen one in years, unless seeing it from the sky in a plane counts. But it's not the same.
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures! Have the coucous and violettes come out yet? It was so cold this winter, maybe they will show their pretty faces in February.
ReplyDeleteNadège, no coucous or violettes yet, but the wild cyclamens are blooming in the back yard.
ReplyDeleteStarman, we can see sunrise and sunset from our windows. And this time of year, the sun rises so late that we don't even have to make a special effort to see it.
Judy, good for your niece. When are you coming to France again?
Evelyn, as you've suspected, I'm a sun worshiper from way back. It all started on a long sandy beach in North Carolina...
Just thought I'd say high, having stubbled over your blog.
