"I never looked for it, gave it no name; yet I knew it always, when the gift of peace came. I stood quite still for the moment that it lasted...Then the light shifted slightly and the moment passed, leaving me...with the lasting echo of its presence.." Diana Gabaldon
Just think, that tree sees the sunrise everyday. How lucky you were to get to share one morning with the big feller. Awesome photo. Hope I get it in VB. Yes, I'd give it at 10 Jan.
Jan, it was worth to go up early on a Saturday morning as you achieved a wonderful result. Beautiful image which brings a not to define, but pretty, mood. Very well done! Regards, Cornelius
You captured so much detail in this sillhoette, even the grasses are distinctive. Nice work on this beautiful sunrise Jan (no friday night out?) :)

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

Hey Jan,
I just adore this view, it is one of those few scenes that keeps amazing us every single time, (~8
Personally I'd make sure the foreground silhouette is completely black, (here it's got a slight brown tint and details on the right that might distract from the astonishing view) but it seems to fit here somehow, (~8
Beautifully done,
Wow, definitely worth getting up for. Glad to see you got some sunshine up there Jan. We had it forecast for Saturday but it didn't materialise.
This is lovely - the graduated colours make me think of a lava lamp - or that mouthwash with different coloured layers! And silhouetting the tree really shows how it's been blown by the wind.
My dear friends! I hope you forgive me for not commenting and answering that much recently. Thats because of the weather situation here, that takes all my energy. I promise to do better as soon as there will be more sun again. Smile
