Sunrise – Eskildoodle Photos and Feelings

Northern Light

The sun seldom shines on the this side of the house. However, during the time near the summer solstice, which I think of as “high summer,” the sun rises far enough north to send its light through a northern window to reflect off whatever it may find inside. #sunrise #northernlight #highsummer #summersolstice

Crescent Dawn

Twilight rays of the sun painted clouds orange across a pastel background sky while the onlooking crescent moon could be seen through a peephole in the tree canopy. Can you find it? #twilight #sunrise #morning #dawn #pastels #crescentmoon

Morning Blues

The sort of blue that makes it hard to feel “blue” in the morning. #morning #blue #sunrise

Sailing Away

One of the last of the holiday decorations was seen sailing with the sunrise, and heading towards its safe harbor until the next holiday season. #safeharbor #sailingaway #sunrise

Rising with the Sun

Rising With the Sun by Howard EskildsenThe middle of the night Seems a strange time to arise To drive to the place Where more than time flies From security to concourse Then onto a plane With the thrust of jet engines We rise upward again The sun hugs the horizon As we leave the runwayContinue reading “Rising with the Sun”

Home Henge

Every year around the time of the equinox, windows in our entry way project light patterns from the rising sun across our living room furniture. Like Stonehenge, we have our own seasonal solar calendar in our own home that is telling us that fall is here. #homehenge #stonehenge #sunrise #seasons

Morning Gold

As the sun prepared to rise up from the eastern horizon, golden fingers of light poked beneath the clouds to tickle their undersides with delight. While “all that glitters is not gold,” this moment was certainly golden in more ways than one. #sunrise #golden #lightshow

Venus in Blue Beams

Light from the rising sun cast gold and blue beams across the sky and seemed to spotlight Venus shining brightly in the blue beam. Additionally, Jupiter is just barely visible near the trees below and to the left of Venus, his light nearly lost in the brilliance of the dawn. #venus #bluebeams #sunrise #jupiter

End and Beginning

The night ends and a new day begins and with it a new, unexpected, journey. The old crescent Moon rises barely ahead of the Sun, soon to disappear from the morning sky and be reborn in the evening sky a few days later. Along with it ride memories of a close friend and relative recentlyContinue reading “End and Beginning”
