Exquisite sunset

4:48 to 4:52 pm. Part 1. Delicate colours and moody hues.






Moody or what?



5:27 to 5:29 pm. Part 2. The bat speckled wide dark blue yonder.






Dawn of Many Colours

6:51 to 6:59 am. Looking west as usual, opposite the sunrise. Starts out with Turner skies, intense luminescence.








Looking north west. The north pylons and tiniest start of the arch of the harbour bridge are visible just to the right of the building on the left.





Fading quickly now, just a light dusting of colour.



6:54 am. The sky drama is over and reflections of a city are powering up.


At 6:59 am, whammo . . full bore.
