Sunrise

I was walking to work this morning. At this time of the year it is beginning to be pretty dark in the mornings already. Daylight saving time gives a short respite before midwinter, when it is totally dark when going to work - and coming from work.

This morning the clouds above were still dark inky blue and the sun was below the horizon. And then, suddenly, the sun´s first rays met the underside of the clouds. It was like someone had taken a brush and with short, delicate strokes painted the horizon in brilliant pink and illuminating orange colors. Amazing soft light spread everywhere.

You could almost hear the nature sigh. What abundance to start the day with such beauty!
