The Sunrise

Beautiful! I saw it too and took a picture. You live nearby I see. Thanks for sharing.

It was beautiful! When the sun is out in Holland, we have to enjoy it! Take care -

Thanks for the Simple Minds track UK-AC, very fitting.

Pyractomena borealis - love your gravatar/icon!

You KNOW what they say about red skies in the morning dont ya?

It wasnt a sunrise..

It was a DAWN OF DOOOM!

And mushroom clouds are beautiful too..in their own way.

No worries, I always think of that song on nice mornings.

Though you know what they say....

Red sky in the morning - shepherd's warning!

DOOM BACK ON BIATCHES!!

Guuuulp. Oh my, did not think of that!


“Red sky at night, sailor’s delight. Red sky in morning, sailor’s warning”

Neat, I never knew in the UK they refer to "shepherds warning" and in US English side of thing they say, "sailors warning."

Here was Haiti's sunrise yesterday morning:

Interesting facts:



Is the old adage “Red sky at night, sailor’s delight. Red sky in morning, sailor’s warning” true, or is it just an old wives’ tale?

Answer:
Within limits, there is truth in this saying.

Have you ever heard anyone use the proverb above?

Shakespeare did. He said something similar in his play, Venus and Adonis. “Like a red morn that ever yet betokened, Wreck to the seaman, tempest to the field, Sorrow to the shepherds, woe unto the birds, Gusts and foul flaws to herdmen and to herds.”

In the Bible, (Matthew XVI: 2-3,) Jesus said, “When in evening, ye say, it will be fair weather: For the sky is red. And in the morning, it will be foul weather today; for the sky is red and lowering.”

The stillness of it was nice

Early mornings are great, indeed, that was nice.


about the red skies warning...

Tonight it appears The Netherlands will get hit with almost hurricane forced wind gusts from off the North Sea!

Gusts, the say, till 90-100 km/hour! Heck, that is a hurricane!

I miss Holland, I grew up in Spakenburg as a kid. Parents were in the service.

Lots of great memories.

A.K.A.

Breaking Dawn

Great place for kids. Well adults too! The flatness on mornings like today with such a sunrise are just awesome.

In the winter, even better:

Very beautiful.

Lived in Germany 1976-1986, saw Holland a few times and I understand how it could be a lovely place to call home.

Love Germany, especially the southern part by the Alps -
