Sky Watch Friday, Sunrise Service


Although I felt “sick as a dog” with a bad cold the promise of a beautiful sunrise forced me up before the dawn to travel to a nearby country church.

The sunrise did not disappoint and the church provided framing for the gorgeous awakening of the day.

Absolutely gorgeous! I love the colors. I don't get up early enough for sunrise shots - mostly sunsets for me ;-)

Love this picture! My mother (born in PA) had a hobby of taking pictures of church steeples. We lost her unexpectedly just before Christmas. She would love your picture. Thank you.

I'm sorry you felt so sick. That is true dedication, to go out when you feel like that. It is an inspiring photo. Mind is here.
