sunrise and 1 degC

Its as much fun posting an ordinary photo with an interesting subject as a really good photographic one!
I got out of a warm bed to check the sunrise and this was the result! Since publishing this photo I have realise the camera was 1 hour out - it was that much earlier!

Good on the black, I reckon!
Three good things:
1. A big day of rugby watching - NZ’s Highlanders (our province) against the Jaguars (Argentinian). 9.30am our time is good, live.
2. Picked up all the prickly rose cuttings with really good and heavy rubber gloves!
3. The back massager on my poor and weak back worked a treat!

Worth leaving a warm bed to capture this, what a lovely start to the day.

[Pat Knowles]

Sounds like a lovely proper day at home pottering & doing exactly as you want! Beautiful sunrise & no need to go out in the cold!

[Maggiemae]

@happypat It was rather nice to go out in the cold - the sun warmed you and there was no wind! I just sat on the wall and absorbed the calm winter's day! Going to be different on Wednesday!

@judithdeacon It is probably like this every morning but i'm normally too snug in bed to get up!

[Maggiemae]

@judithdeacon Actually my camera time is 1 hour out! It was 8am!

[Maggiemae]

@busylady Actually the time was 7.55am - my camera hasn't caught up with me!

Always worthwhile getting up early to capture a nice sun rise. This is lovely.

[Dione Giorgio]

I don't like waking up and going out early to take shots but when I'm on holiday that's the first thing I do! You can call that madness if you like. This is really beautiful. Love the red in the sky.
