I have often seen wonderful red gold sunrises but this, as I
opened my bleary eyes was a sufficient surprise for me to leap
out of bed . . .
it started out as superimposed pink on blue
but quickly deepened into an almost magenta hue
and for a moment, gave me this striped effect before as
suddenly as it had come, like a dream, it had gone.
It just goes to show it is worth keeping a lookout.
Join the hundreds who post their skies on SkyWatch each week, it is
so interesting to watch the skies around the world.
Absolutely breathtaking!!! You are so right--it is "here and gone" just like that. Have a lovely weekend. Mickie :)
