Covid Respite #13 - Collecting Sunrises

                                                                                         Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning

                                                                          Born of the one light Eden saw play.

                                                                          Praise with elation, praise every morning,

                                                                          God's re-creation of the new day.

Up to this point, my Covid Respite trips have required getting in the car and going someplace to use my camera.  But in between those roughly monthly jaunts, I'm hanging out at home or going to the nearby grocery store or whatever.  And on some days, all I have to do is step out my back door to watch (and photograph) a beautiful sunrise or moonrise.


So for this Covid Respite, here's a stay-at-home collection from the past few weeks.


As you will see, not all sunrises are created equal.  Some are worthy of multiple images; others fizzle out.

* People of a certain age will recognize these words from Cat Stevens' / Yusuf Islam's Morning Has Broken released in 1971.  But the song is actually a Christian hymn first published 40 years earlier.  The lyrics were written by English poet and children's author Eleanor Farjeon, inspired by the village of Alfriston in East Sussex, then set to a traditional Scottish Gaelic tune, "Bunessan."

  1. Great variety of sunrises - amazing how different they all look and I like how you used different angles and zoom lens settings to make them unique. Looking forward to the next set images from "where do the children play?"
