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.

    Gorgeous awakening is right. The tree towers well above the church tower. What a wonderful perspective.

    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.
