Sunrise

[Sammy]

Felt a little guilty for asking a question (XX4) without contributing anything. So here goes. Nothing fancy just an early morning shot, in April, from my backroom window, taken with SONY DSC w80, my emergency camera which I always carry, just in case.

A side note on the scene. These woods are now under threat from developers who want to build concrete boxes instead.

PS Lilu Really nice portraits. Great use of natural light. Your subjects are very comfortable with you. Well done.

That's a nice photo, Sammy. You have a good view from your backroom window. The title of your thread reminded me of the title of a song sung by Pete Atkin, with music written by him, and the lyrics by Clive James (yes that Clive James). As a member of the Pete Atkin forum (Smash Flops), I feel at liberty to post the lyrics here:
SUNLIGHT

Sunlight,
a razzle-dazzle kind of glamour in the sky
No more
Than just the glimmer of a star nearby and bright

I've seen it turn the trick a thousand times
And send the millions wild with joy
Whereas for me it's just a toy
That flying horses dragged up from the sea

Sunrise
How little thought it takes, how little time it leaves
Not long
Before she wakes to dress and then she leaves your eyes

For very soon the sun will come for her
And it will carry her from you
It's seen too many men like you
To care how soon it chooses to arise

Sunshine
Already seems as if it's moving in to stay
Smiling
The wide and steady smile that says "The day is mine"

How many clever men have called the sun
A fool before today
"O unruly sun" they say
"For stepping in to take my love away"

Sunlight
It's time to make a move, it's time to rise and shine
Sunrise
Shaking your shoulder murmurs "Everything looks fine"
And takes your love away.

Saludos,
Bob.
