Dusty sunrise…

It seems the Saharan dust is still with us. Not much more than a blush in the sky at sunrise and sunset. Lately I’ve seen some really interesting pictures of the sun as it was rising in a dusty sky. Against the color of the sky the sun looked like a yellow ball, really more like a moon than the sun, with wispy clouds trailing across the view. I think I was hoping for either/or this morning, a lovely sunrise or a photo of that unusual looking sun. I got neither. To the naked eye I clearly saw the circle of the sun, and with wispy clouds, but that doesn’t seem to be what the camera saw. Birds were flying through my shots and I hoped that they would create a better shot than they did. Even the iPhone shots were disappointing. I had the phone in my new phone case with a tether, but I find that the tether isn’t long enough to put the phone in my pocket, and I didn’t want it to hang, so I did the next best thing, I tucked it in my bra. That worked well until I heard the phone, still in my bra, snapping pictures on its own while I snapped pictures with the camera. You can’t make this stuff up…
