Then I Turned Around

. . . a continuation . . .

What did I see when I turned around? A rather striking sunrise, that's what!

How many times have I gone down there in the morning to a pretty null sunrise? (Well, not that many I suppose but some.) But there it was, serendipitously awaiting me to notice. It was really like this. I didn't saturate in post editing.

I took a few more at somewhat different focal lengths and crops. Although it was still quite wonderful, you might notice that the saturation is already beginning to lessen by the second photo, below.

This was all taking place within minutes, and it was even less saturated in my next and final photo.

Despite the lesser saturation on the final photo ↑ I may like it best. I think I like the wider view for showing the context better. And I think the more gentle colours would make the photo easier to look at for a duration if it were printed. I think in part, it also appears to be less saturated because I am showing more sky and there is simply less colour up higher, or less orange colour, I should say.

If I hadn't forced my less than enthusiastic self to go out that morning, I wouldn't have stumbled (almost blindly as it were) into these shots. I shall try to remember this going forward. But the flesh is weak. lol
