Seeing The Sun Through Vapour
This morning Laura looked out the window and saw that the sun was
lighting up the trees in a lovely way.
I thought that I should take the camera outside and have a look
around.
I went for a short walk, and took 74 photographs, but don't be alarmed, I won't show you all of them!
There was a thin mist still touching the ground with a few fingers of
one hand, and the sky above was painted pale cobalt blue amongst a
scattering of puffy
white clouds.
The sun rising through the mist reminded me very much of
paintings by the artist J. M. W. Turner.
I think Turner would have enjoyed the light this morning.
I certainly did!
Light transformed what was ordinary, and made it sublime.

Turner is one of my very favorite painters.
Love that last picture particularly.
Christine, lovely to hear from you on this, and the previous post, it was good of you to suggest some books for me, and it will be a pleasure for me to read an author that I haven't come across before.
Teresa, sorry your morning was "slightly gloomy", and I hope all is better now. Glad that the photos brought some light. I was very fortunate to see a huge exhibition of Turner's paintings in London back in 1975 when there was a show to mark Turner's bicentenary. I can still "see" some of them, and have little fragments of the actual exhibition floating around in my memory, crowds and all!
Angie, four horse men... seeing as the Lord of the Rings was filmed in NZ, I should expect to see a few terrified hobbits as well!!
Patti, I have improved a lot over the last few days, and can walk fairly easily now. Sitting down is still a problem for me, but I can manage it for a short time and it is a joy to be able to sit down for breakfast, and for playing my ukulele!! How wonderful that you have enjoyed Turner too.
Thinking of you and Mark, P, L & NS xxx
Aahh ... what a wonderful world ...
Sue :)
Lovely to hear from you. Another misty morning today, and I was tempted to get out and take more photos, didn't quite get there as I had a job to do, but it is a lovely time of the year, and the winter sky is a real feast for the eyes!
Hi Amy,
Lovely to hear from you, thank you for your kind comment on the earlier post. Glad to report that the improvement in my back is continuing. I'll try a little potting again soon, but am keeping with paper work at the moment.
The business book keeping has never been so up to date before!!!
