Dawn at 8am

I made a determined effort to stay awake at 8am instead of dozing….
Able to catch the sun just appearing over the northern ridge - from our kitchen.
It might look even better on the Black!

Three good things;
1. Spent some hours trying to balance our accounts with our accountant’s and amazingly enough achieved this!
2. I felt I could do some more reading in the sun on our so comfy new couch!
3. Allowed John to handle the TV remote - he’s getting the picture - muting the advertisements! But turning the sound back on is still a bit difficult!

It looks wonderful on black - well done for staying awake. Well worth it. fav!

[Lou Ann]

I mute the commercials too! This is a wonderful view to have from your kitchen window. Oh my!

[Pat Knowles]

Dark in the mornings maggie, I have been told it's very cold! Wonderful on black, looks a lovely sunrise!

[Maggiemae]

@happypat Its been one degree or minus one for the last few mornings, Pat. Nice warm house though!

[FBailey]

Oh you are lucky to have such a late dawn - it's something crazy over here like 4.45 or suchlike but getting slightly later daily:)

[Maggiemae]

@fbailey Yes its dark when we wake up and thats why its easy to go on snoozing!

Great shot and really pops on black

[Beryl Lloyd]

A beautiful sky at dawn-break ! So light so early here at the moment !

beautiful sky maggie

[Babs]

Lovely shot, winter sunrises and sunsets are always better than in summer.

I don't leave David alone with the remote too often.

[KWind]

Beautiful light and colour!

[Valerie Chesney]

Gorgeous welcome to the day,

[Delwyn Barnett]

It is rather nice for a change to have it so dark in the mornings. We have been staying in Queenstown for a few days and getting lots of sleep ins!!

[Maggiemae]

@dkbarnett Bet its cold there but would be so beautiful with snow on the magnificent mountains all around!

[haskar]

Wonderful sky.

[CC Folk]

What a lovely sunrise! Well done! Fav.

[Dione Giorgio]

Very beautiful sunrise and shot. Dawn at 8.00am!

[Maggiemae]

@sangwann It sounds so late but it is mid winter, Dione!

[Delwyn Barnett]

@maggiemae Yes certainly cold, but indeed very beautiful. My daughter flew back to New Plymouth on Monday and messaged that it felt tropical!

[Sally Ings]

Super way to greet a new day. Lovely colours

[Milanie]

So glad you stayed to see this - and share it. Wonderful colors - hard to think that late for a sunrise when it's already 87 at 6 am here and quite bright - I'm missing those sunrise shots!

[Margo Sayer]

Cloudless stripes, warm image.
