I've just watched the most beautiful dawn

the sky was streaked with long thin clouds stretching north to south, those in the west sky blue pink, the nearer to the east were edged with gold

when the sun came up it was red, it was huge as it emerged from the skyline

it's risen up now, it's hiding behind the clouds which are now grey - altho the sky behind them is orange on the horizon in the east, pale yellow just above that and deepening to bright blue above me as I watch

the sun isn't high enough to have a reflection in the river, which is full from bank to bank, so that is a wide ribbon of grey below me: there are two swans swimming slowly against the current
