As I was saying yesterday, about an hour before I took this shot, morning walks can be grey affairs, but yesterday started with a tinge of gold on the horizon. I am pleased to report that those stormy looking clouds were heading east, and this red sky in the morning did not prove to be a Shepherdman’s warning, the sky brightening as a bright yellow strip appeared behind the trees, growing as the fluorescent disc of the rising sun slid up into the sky, not an early morning red orb, but an immediate fiery glow from the first moments of daylight.
It’s not until you try to capture the rising sun at the edge of the horizon that you realise quite how fast the sun ascends into the heavens, and my attempts were over-exposed, but I was rewarded by warm golden sunlight shining across the yellow wheat stubble still standing in the field as we made our way back home.
