This sunrise surprised me, yesterday, after a lot of overcast mornings. I’m entering it in Hammad’s weekend sky challenge.

Kinda early for 5 of a kind
My intention was to catch Uluru at sunrise but as I aimed at the sun, to the left of the rock, I got 5 solar panels at Yulara.
They’re squaring up for Becky’s kinda squares.
A sunburnt country
Dorothea Mackeller, 1885 – 1968, described Australia as “…a sunburnt country…” in her poem, My Country. The weekly photo challenge this week involves choosing your favourite sunrise or sunset photos, and there are plenty of opportunities, here. I noticed that most of my sunrises are over land and my sunsets over water. I’ll be interested to see if that’s common for most photographers in the challenge.
I wake early, so I see many sunrises from my backyard and from farther afield.

Backyard break of day
In Australia, the redder the sunset, the hotter the next day will be. Although I’m not a night owl, I also see lots of sunsets.

My father used to say,
“Early to bed, early to rise, makes a girl healthy, wealthy and wise.”
I achieved the first and in my definition of what is valuable, I am rich beyond my dreams. There’s still time for the wisdom.
Safe travels, whatever you do between sunrise and sunset, this week. Take your camera!
