Sunrise Silhouettes

We have another very cold week behind us. I’ve not been out much except for going  to my physiotherapy in the rehab pool at the hospital (two mornings a week) or grocery shopping (usually a bit later in the day).

The photo above was taken with my phone camera when going to the bus stop last Monday, at about 8:50 in the morning. The one below with the proper camera from my balcony on Friday morning at 8:15 (just sticking my head out very quickly for the photo…)

Over the weekend the sun has not been getting up, but has pulled the clouds over its head, shaking down some more snow over us. (Not so much that it make’s much difference though.) I’ve mostly been following it’s example – wrapping myself in blankets and escaping to other worlds by magic (books).

Sky Watch Friday: Grey

 

Friday morning view of the sky from my balcony.
Now, is that a work of art, or what?!?
I think I’ll call it… “Grey”…

It’s been like this most of the week. We’re still stuck in winter.

ABC Wednesday - How Many C’s Do You See?

Cold and Cloudy morning in the City Centre:
The old Church with its Clock tower rises
high above the modern Concrete buildings
and the Cinema with its neon lights.

For ABC Wednesday - C

SOOC Sunday - Town Silhouette

Straight out of the camera, unedited, un-cropped, and even shot today; so this is is for Straight Out of the Camera Sunday.

Hard choice though. I might as well have used it for Ruby Tuesday, ABC Wednesday (C for church tower!), Watery Wednesday, Weekend Reflections, Sky Watch Friday or Shadow Shot Sunday... I’ve been trying out so many challenges lately from both blogs that I’m almost losing track! But I think I’m beginning get it sorted now – which ones to participate in, and from where. Especially in the winter I do find it helpful to have some themes in mind when I’m out walking the camera.

Poems on the Sky

Trees are poems that earth writes upon the sky,
We fell them down and turn them into paper,
That we may record our emptiness.
~ Kahlil Gibran ~

These pictures are all from the same photo,
just cropped in different ways.
