Brilliant Red Sunrise - Sky Watch Friday

Brilliant Red Sunrise - Sky Watch Friday
brilliant red sunrise with trees - australian gum trees in the foreground, layers of bright red and pink to blue clouds in the background
For my second Sky Watch Friday, I'm posting a sunrise. This is one of the most popular landscapes for photographers and painters alike, but this does not seem to detract from the impressiveness of the scene in every new photo I see. Somehow each sunrise has a unique "flavour" to it which gives it a renewed meaning each time it is interpreted by a different artist.

One of the unique aspects of this sunrise is the silhouette formed by the gum trees in the foreground. This is a typical Australian scene, and anyone who's lived in the country for long gets to know and love this early morning symbol.

This photo taken with the Fujifilm S9600 digital camera.

    Beautiful sunrise! It's set up very well! I, personally, hate being up early enough to see the sunrise. At least if you were up this early you got to experience something wonderful! :)

    I passed an award I was given on to you! Stop by my post at http://photosforthefunofit.blogspot.com/2008/02/i-received-award.html to see when you get a chance.

    Hi Tom,

    Glad I could give you a small reminder of Australia. Maybe you'll be able to come back one day and see this for real... :)

    Cheers,

    David

    Hi Angie,

    I never really like getting up to see the sunrise either. One of these days I'll get around to waking up at 3:30am to get the magnificent sunrise out over the range nearby, but so far I've just been too lazy! :)

    Thanks a lot for the award, it is a very special honour for me. I'll try and get a post up soon about it. Thanks!

    Cheers,

    David

    Hi dailyphotographer,

    Thanks for dropping round, I'd be happy to link to your blog.

    The lighting during sunrises is the great thing about them, isn't it? Just a normal, drab skyline - until the sun creates a silhouette. Then, a magic photo....

    Cheers,

    David
