Warm Glow of the Rising Sun by alophoto

Warm Glow of the Rising Sun

So grateful for color and sunshine this morning. Ah, I needed that.

Yes, it is still cold. As I stood at the bus stop with the kids this morning, I felt my nostrils crackling as they froze. On the way home, I noticed the warm glow of the rising sun lighting up the woods in my neighbors yard. I ran home, got the camera and shot until I could no longer feel my finger pushing the shutter.

I warmed up after a cup of hot tea.

It may be frigid cold outside, but this scene, this color, this sunshine warms my soul. Happy Wednesday, my friends.
This is gorgeous. I believe it was -7 when I got up. How can they make a child, let alone a mother, stand at a bus stop in that temp?

Beautiful shot!

I'm struck by the difference in light color there at sunrise. Your light is golden, ours is blue. Good positioning of the flare through the trees.

This is a lovely warm capture, well done.

What beautiful light and great capture. I was out there this morning too freezing my fingers but now having a cuppa.

What a beautiful photo, Amanda. You have a wonderful view. I went outside to take a photo this morning and nothing. Blue skies, 27 degrees, the neighbors tree is barely starting to get leaves, so early. No rain till maybe April 30. In the 70's still and in the days to come. Crazy weather here. Hope you are staying warm.

Amazing contrast between the white snow and golden sun. Would like either or both around here!
January 22nd, 2014  
Love this!
January 22nd, 2014  
Brilliant colours and light! Stunning shot

Love that burst behind the trees! We can definitely relate to the cold for the next several days!
January 22nd, 2014  
Lovely sun flare,a super shot!!
January 22nd, 2014  
Brilliant flare! Great winter photos!!
January 22nd, 2014  
Wow, I can almost feel the little heat of the sun peeping through the trees.
January 22nd, 2014  
@joeyc It's amazing to me how deceptive the sun is in the winter. Actually sometimes it does make it feel warmer, but usually, it's just pretty and bright but still flippin' cold (like today:).
January 22nd, 2014  
@darsphotos Thanks so much, Darlene. Hoping you get some water soon!! Poor Cali!

You have to be careful when your nose starts crackling in the cold! Pretty soon the nose hairs start breaking off, followed by your nose! :)

This is a gorgeous sunrise! Well worth the frostbite on your poor finger! I pray that some of the warmth we've been enjoying in Idaho will travel it's way east and bless you with sunshine and some respite from the crazy winter you've had!

@smellychelli Doh, I hate those times when my nose falls off;-). Thanks, friend!!

@joemuli Nice. Way to rock the story ideas!
January 23rd, 2014  
I love the warmth of this photo. We could so use some warm sun up here. I think it was a high of 14 degrees today. How many days until summer?!
January 23rd, 2014  
@egad Yeah, our warm looking sun has been just a trick. Totally cold out there. It was 0 last night or colder. I'm looking forward to spring, that's for sure. Sheesh, and we are just a month into winter. Yikes!
January 23rd, 2014  
So beautiful, so idyllic. What a glorious start for a new day!
January 23rd, 2014
