Skywatch Friday Assen 5 out of 5 a Photostory for Friday too.

Monday 30th June, out of our cabin window
Picture the scene....we are in our cabin, 5am Monday morning. I am fully asleep, land of nod! "Denise....get your camera QUICK!" "What?" "Get your camera QUICK the sun is coming up!" Fumble fumble....... The 4 photographs were taken immediately and the glories of the sunrise captured within seconds of each other! We were somewhere in the North Sea! Once the task was done I went back to the land of nod. A few hours later we arrived at Newcastle and made our way home. Our holidays may be over but the adventures continue! Watch this space!
Sunrise…Sunset Moments of life …are measured and… treasured. Life is shared in laughter and love. Love comes from the peaceful bliss of just being together. Sunrise or sunset It is a special event…a moment to last- forever. Sunrise and sunset -one and the same…yet far apart in years- but, still connected in the cycle of life. Sunrise or sunset It is a cherished moment …a symbol of unity, of being together like for a parent and a child. Sunrise and sunset Ever after to be remembered as a sunset too soon! And yet, treasured as a sunshine of love! M. Matthews For more skywatchers visit here

Lovely series of pictures, especially seen through the 'filter' of the water droplets.

Glad you both got a chance to take these pictures - and to get back to sleep!

My SWF is over here. Hope you enjoy the views from my part of the world!

Interesting view out a wet window. Was it worth leaving the land of Nod, even briefly? I think so!

How beautiful. I am a sucker for sun shots, and the droplets of water merely adds to the beauty.

Tash said...

That was worth getting up & scrambling for. I like the progression & love the last photo.

Beautiful pics Denise. Fortunately when you took them it was relatively calm although the water on the porthole tells another story!!!

Subtle gradation in the colours but the droplets add something special.

I so enjoy the way you ally poetry to photography. I'm going to buy myself a decent camera and try to do the same. The Mary Oliver poem is gorgeous.'The thick paw of my life'......lovely.

Louise said...

When you're on the water, you just have to get up and take those pictures! You're lucky you can go back to the land of nod. I never can!

Digital Polaroids said...

Wow... it looks as if you used some kind of software filter. REALLY BEATIFUL, and different.

Jo said...

Denise, those photos are so exquisitely beautiful, I feel as if I am right there! Thank you!

More, more, more!
