Set the controls for the heart of the sun

      I trundled downstairs this morning, Monday morning that is, turfed two grumbling and bickering Jack Russells out for a pee and looked up at the sky in the east. Wow. Dawn was definitely showing off in a big way. Dawn is a real pin-up, the Vargas of weather phenomena.
      The entire pack of effects is there for all to see. Colour, drama, contrast and a lot of that old favourite 'look at me'. So I did. I poured myself a tea, having hastily taken a brew upstairs to the Boss, gave the two terriers their breakfast and watched.

      What a way to start the day and what a special effects treat. Absolutely brilliant.
      It's a clear night tonight so I'm hoping that Tuesday morning will show a little more of the celestial pyrotechnics. I do like dawn and I think on balance she seems to be more dramatic than sunsets.
      Dawn, she's a lovely girl and in the middle there's another one of her more subtle efforts from Tuesday, and one taken this morning. Nice.
