Light and dark by seanoneill

Light and dark

These words are on the December list for the 4th of December, but the challenge also allows us to take any shot on any day.

I got up early this morning to go up Fox Hill and shoot the sunrise. Here is a shot before the sun broke the horizon.

The temperataure was about -7, it was absolutely freezing.
I love your interpretation! Really nicely done and that strip of colour is great. Kudos to you for braving that freezing temperature! Not often it hits even 0 degrees where I live lol. Fav :)

@ozziehoffy Thanks ever so Cassandra. I will let you into a little secret. I had set my alarm to get up early, and then turned it off during the night, then the bloody cat woke me up at half past six, so I got up and went up there!!! It was actually taken at 7-53am, I need to alter the time on my camera!

Love the abstract nature of this.

I agree with Fanny about the sanity of venturing out to be greeted by such cold conditions, but I'm glad you did!! Your captureseems to concentrate the power and intensity of that sun which is about to burst out from below the horizon! The straight horizon adds to this perception.
