6th December // Golden Skies

Being so calculated about how to best observe a sunrise, I sometimes forget that the best experiences cannot be so rigidly predicted. I usually use the golden rule that a sunrise shows its best display 30 minutes before the sun breaches the horizon. Yes this is true of fiery red skies, but a hour that follows is often far more dramatic, and often a completely separate occurrence from the before mentioned red skies of the pre-sunrise.

On this morning, feeling that the sun had shown all that it was willing to, I began my walk around the llyn. As I ventured further along a break in the now emerging clouds which had blocked the pre-sunrise light from getting fully through, now allowed the suns golden rays to pierce through and illuminate the llyn and surrounding mountainsides in its warmth.
