Early morning walk to watch the sunrise

The moon was still visible this morning when I went out for another early walk. Yesterday I didn't take the camera, today I did. 

Looking over to the east an orange glow was emerging. Was this going to be a spectacular sunrise.

I kept looking over to the left as I walked. 

The glow was definitely spreading. 

Then the orange faded and splashes of red emerged, fighting for space among the clouds. Doesn't look promising. Maybe it was not going to be anything special. 

Shades of pink and red started pushing through the clouds. 

And then the orange came back. This looks promising.

By this time I was walking around the edge of the playing field. Looking good. 

A few more minutes and the rising orange ball should be visible. 

I turned to take a few snaps of the trees nearby. Lovely Autumn colours. 

I made a video. The traffic was quite noisy, people were driving to work. 

Oh wow, what a reward for my patience. 

The climbing frame on the playground provides a frame for the sun. 

After snapping away I set off back towards home. Walking away from the sun, I couldn't resist stopping and looking back. The avenue of trees gave a mysterious feel to the scene. 

Changing the zoom alters the colours. 

This is my favourite. I waited until she was between two trees. 

The figure standing in the bus shelter looks ghostly. 

So pleased with these pictures. I was cold, didn't realise how cold until I had been standing around for half an hour. Back home for a bowl of hot porridge. 

Thanks for popping in. Catch ya later.   Toodle pip.   ilona
