Richmond Hill, last Sunday at 4.32 am. The streetlights, floodlights over the park and rising sun combine to create a glowing palette of tones. On the left is Richmond Park, and on the right the Doxa Deo Church (a hideous piece of architecture which we will probably only ever show you as a sillouette against cool views, because buildings this ugly should not be allowed in an old historic area!) The road in between winds down the hill towards the sea (which you can see as the pink strip between the houses, lit up by the rising sun.
Very nice colors is your picture.
ReplyDeleteWe feel serenity through your lense.
It's a really beautiful photo! The colors are amazing!
ReplyDeleteSAM what on earth were you doing up at 4:32am?! lol! The lighting is really something in this photo...who knew 4:32am could be this nice!
ReplyDeleteI for one would love to see a full frontal photo of that ugly church in all its glorious ugliness! :-D
cgdp.... it IS peaceful at that time, not many other lunatics awake then! I love it, the cool fresh morning air, in fact to let you all in on a little secret, i went out onto the street in my dressing gown to take this shot, no-one was around and it was too pretty to miss!!
ReplyDeletehehe ann, chronic insomnia, but i do get to see some cool sunrises, which compensates for walking around like a zombie a lot of the time!
maybe one day i'll have a rush of blood to the head and show that horrid building, if i can bring myself to photograph it!
I see, well, welcome to the club then (luckily, I usually wind up catching some zzzz way before dawn). Yep, a scene too pretty to miss. And you are right about that church. What were they thinking?
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo, almost seems unreal.
