Off course I did!  :)

I never take my camera when i go to the bakery on sunday mornings. And i usually don't get there this early either  ;D

I had to put on clothes of course, well not too many as it's already very warm here (Summer in April: global heating has arrived!  :-\), so i couldn't do the 'nekkid' part of the project  :P

Fabienne, it's summer in Belgium and winter in Indiana. It snowed here today.  >:(

It started out as a cold rain, and during the afternoon it changed over to snow. Maybe I should head over to Belgium and warm up. It feels like it's Christmas time over here! And just a couple of weeks ago it was in the 80's (27-28 C).  ???

I was feeling quite unwell this morning and was having trouble walking from the internet cafe to my St. Kilda pad but nonetheless, here is a view to the sunrise at dawn, St. Kilda, Victoria, a few km from the beach, which I have not yet gawped at.

Well I for one am glad that you were able to share your sunrise with us - it's an unusual view!

Got another couple a hours before mine happens, and based on recent attemps at taking sunrise pics, it won't be much - plus it was raining when I got up earlier - my sunrise pic ain't gonna be no chef d'oeuvre.

Hope the malaise doesn't last too long and you end up having a great day.

Newfoundland.

Here I am in the northern part of the island, near Labrador.
with ice cover still on the harbour, and lots of snow still around.
 


Below is a pic looking south, with Jupiter hanging in the morning sky.



Below - note the sliver of a moon in this hand-held shot.







Below - I realized that the sun was reflecting off a south-west window before I could see it in the east.










The view from my window, looking south, just after sunrise.


Off to bed for a nap.

5:55 a.m.   29 degrees  Vienna, Maine   

Not much of a sunrise today; they're predicting a big storm. They're calling it a Nor'easter. Hopefully we won't be in the part of the state that gets the heavy, wet, power-outage type snow. If it's just rain and high winds we should be okay.

Great pictures Jocelyn!!  :D

Those really turned out good. What kind of digital camera did you use?

Thanks so much for posting these beautiful pictures for us!  :)



Hi David!

It was a Pentax Optio 230 and is over 4 years old.  Still takes good photos though!
