This morning, after being gently woken by FM Classic Music, I opened my eyes to see a bright crimson glow in my room. I rose and looked out of my window to see the most gloriously coloured sunrise. The crimson was reflect by scattered clouds in the eastern sky. I stood spell-bound as these changed from crimson, to pink, and then to a golden orange as the sun peeped above the McIvor Range. The clouds were set in a sky which shaded from light gold through azure blue to a deep shade of green. Truly an amazing spectacle which no earthly painter would have the skill to copy!

 Super Moon

On November 18, 2016, the cloud had cleared and I was able to see the Super Moon, both at its rising as well as later at 2.30am. A Super Moon occurs about every 60 years when the Moon’s orbit brings it to its point closest to Earth. The full moon, at 2.30am, was so bright that I couldn’t look directly at it for more than a few seconds at a time. It lite up the whole countryside with bright white light as clear as day but not yellow like the Sun. I’ve combined both images on the one canvas to create a contrast.
