“There was never a night or a problem that could defeat sunrise or hope” Bernard Williams
Sunrise, Blue Skies
Early morning crisp
The wind but a soft whisp
Sky of the brightest blue
Presenting the greatest view
Sunlight’s reflections of red
Painted across the shed
The night’s icy reminder
Glittering on the ground
Soon the day much kinder
And a feeling more profound

“No spring nor summer’s beauty hath such grace
As I have seen in one Autumnal face…” John Donne
October Sunrise
… The longer you stare
Into the bright glare
The red gets in control
Devouring the sky whole

October Sunrise
Sunrise, higher than high
In the early October sky
Over the morning clouds
The sun has spread its shroud
Blues and reds playing in a mix
Eyes staring completely transfixed
The cool crisp air caressing
Almost feels like singing…

“Necessity… the mother of invention” Plato
Having Fun in the Sun
When all is said and done
Enjoying the sea and the sun
Finally, having lots of fun
Though, there is one pun
It all happened in Greece
Before they took a lease
On their little piece of heaven
Always open twenty-four seven
But, alas the play will still continue
And I hope to this wonderful venue
End up
Soon enough

Photo 101: Day Ten: Mystery & Lighting Effects
Today, share an image that creates a sense of mystery. A lone mitten on the sidewalk. A trail leading off into the distance. Your dog’s deep brown eyes. Intrigue us with uncertainty.
Today’s Tip: To stretch yourself, manipulate the light available to you to create a particular effect — use it to cast shadows and highlights to create a moody image. Work with natural light, or find an artificial light source like the stage lights above.
