Morning Has Broken (But I've Fixed It Now!)
Photograph copyright: DAVID McMAHON
Sometimes you're just in the right place at the right time. This shot was taken about five months ago, during the Australian winter. I just gaped at the sky with disbelief because it looked more like a summer skyscape than a freezing cold morning when I had ice on my car. I framed this shot carefully, because I wanted the silhouette of the trees as well. Just as I lined up the shot, three seagulls in very loose formation flew into the mid-section of the frame. I could not have asked for more.
David, it simply oozes magic and inevitability.
ReplyDeleteStunning, and gone in a flash, I suspect. Thanks for fixing it too!
ReplyDeleteWow that is just stunning. The colors are amazing.
ReplyDeleteI'm living on the wrong side of the world. I've never seen a sky like that in all my life. Incredible.
ReplyDeleteWell done David... this will set the standard now for the rest of us to follow.. ha! I might as well bin mine now... ha!.
ReplyDeleteIt's great when wildlife do the honourable thing for a picture now and then
Perfection.
ReplyDeleteI'm reminded of a pack of Dynamints, if anyone else knows what I'm talking about :)
ReplyDeleteAnother beauty David.
ReplyDeleteI often hear people complain about the dull colors of winter but I actually think that the low light of the winter sky is often some of the most beautiful light of the year.

Nice to see our tomorrow promises to be great, even if a little colder over (up) in our hemisphere
Beautiful shot! How nice that the sea gulls flew in there just at the right moment.
ReplyDeleteWow! A stained glass sky! David, did you know that they use gold to fire the red in stained glass. It's so valuable they sell it by the inch.
ReplyDeleteExquisite! Peace! & Joy!
This is gorgeous David!
ReplyDeleteThat's a gorgeous pictures! But now I've got that song stuck in my head.
ReplyDeleteMorning has broken, like the first morning . . .

ReplyDeleteI have a question about copyrighting. I notice you note copyright on each photo as well as on your sidebar.
Better safe than sorry....or really necessary?

ReplyDeleteWonderful David.
ReplyDeleteIn this all embracing topic isn't it nice to know we are all out there, gazing up at the sky! brings a sense of belonging and reason in this confusing busy world.
Fabulous. Makes me wish I was there to soak it in. Man just can't create beauty like that!

Amazing, beautiful, great and whatever you can think of. I can't enlarge the photo!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteA "red sky at morning" photo: did the weather disintegrate during that day? The gulls are the perfect touch; you captured the colors beautifully.
