Lurid Dawn

This picture of the sky was taken at sunrise, or thereabouts, sometime early in 2012. Judging by the naked trees, I'd guess it was probably January or February, although it's hard to be sure.

The lurid pinks and purples of this sunrise just go to show that, while Nature is always bold and original in her celestial artwork, she is not always tasteful! It's unfortunate that I didn't manage to focus more clearly on the harsh outlines of the spiky trees, but the colours were so striking that I couldn't resist posting the image even though the trees are looking a little fuzz. Ah well, better luck next time!
