A golden pre-dawn sky ranges from light yellow up high to a rich gold near the horizon, where a dense, mountainous bank of cumulus is backlit, looking like a distant country. In front, the sea is a uniform slate blue, and in the foreground the dark outline of the coastal plain, given some scale by the pinpoint lights of a still-dark coastal town.

Good Morning!

An almost featureless blue-green sea (after jpeg compression, sRGB gamut and an uncalibrated screen, what your eye decides is blue or green is just luck and genetics) under a hazy blue sky.

A perfectly clear, cloudless dawn sky. A dimly visible urban landscape runs across the bottom of the picture: rooftops, a river, an undulating ridgeline forming the horizon. Above, the sky is just beginning to brighten, a narrow band of peach-white, then above an infinite vault of ever-deepening blue, serene and limitless.

Good Morning!

A tiny crescent moon hangs in an intense, deep blue sky at dawn. Far below, sitting above the horizon is a skein of wind-drawn clouds, dark slate-grey against the blue. Below the clouds, limning just the skyline, the sky is turning orange and yellow, silhouetting a rolling, dark suburban ridgeline of tiny trees and roofs.

Good Morning!

The low, early glow of dawn in a clear sky silhouettes a dark suburban ridgeline, trees and roofs black against the orange, pinpricks of light visible in the dark. Higher up the sky fades to a dull slate blue, while hanging not far above the horizon is the thinnest of fingernail moons, and much higher up is Venus.

Good Morning!

The clear sky just before sunrise, with a crescent moon and Mercury aloft. The sky graduates from a deep indigo near zenith through a pale violet, yellow, orange and deep orange near the horizon, which is made up of the dark silhouettes of trees and roofs on a suburban ridgeline. A few pinpoints of light are shining in the black.

A belated Good Morning!

Sunset reflected from house windows on the ridgeline across the Brisbane river. The houses at the bottom of the hill are in darkness, streetlights are already on, but the last row at the top of the ridge is reflecting back a gold-red sunset. Arcturus is visible low in the sky

Looking through a first floor picture window down a ridgeline to a dense stand of eucalypts and other natives trees lower down the hill. Visible above the treetops are treed plains running out to the coast and behind that, the hazy blue horizon of the sea.

Several eucalypts silhouetted against a dawn sky before sunrise. Seen through the branches of the largest, nearest tree are the crescent Moon, Venus, Saturn and Antares. Out of shot is Mars. The sky is clear and lightening blue except for a low line of cumulus over the sea on the horizon.

Good morning!

A blazing gold and orange sunrise lights up a high layer of clouds that fill two thirds of the image. Across the bottom, in the foreground is an almost black silhouetted suburban ridgeline, showing trees, utility poles and rooftops. Immediately behind the black silhouette is a second line of much darker low cumulus, its backlit outline vaguely imitating the skyline below it.

A deep blue pre-dawn sky surmounts an orange glow on the horizon, brightening to yellow-gold where the sun is about to rise. Streaked across the sky like a single stroke from a half-dry brush is an isolated bank of cloud, silver-grey against the blue. Along the bottom of the image runs a black silhouette of a suburban ridgeline, trees and roofs. iPhone image processing...

Sky covered in mare's tails, clouds blown into long, wispy streaks by a strong wind higher up, forming translucent skeins across the sky. The sun is below the horizon, but has lit the clouds closest to where it will rise on the horizon an orange-pink. The rest of the sky is the palest of yellows near the horizon, grading to a mid blue nearer zenith. The horizon and skyline is black silhouette running along the bottom of the frame, dark outlines of trees and rooftops just visible.

A uniform blanket of cloud extends almost to the horizon, but stops short in an abrupt almost perfect straight line. The entire cloud base is lit a blazing orange by the almost-risen sun, the slight undulations in its surface picked out by the horizontal light. Below the clouds is a dark, almost black skyline of houses and trees still in darkness, silhouetted against the radiant sky.

A long, dawn view, down out over dark, misty valleys to the distant sea horizon. Overhead fluffy cumulus are lit grey and pink by the just risen sun, while below the dark treed valleys and pale white mist have yet to be illuminated. The view is framed left and right by some leaves and branches of nearby trees.

A nearly-risen orange sun sits on a straight horizon formed by the distant sea. The entire background of the picture is composed of four horizontal lines of colour: the black land at the bottom, with a ruler-straight shoreline, then the slate-blue sea, then a bright orange band of diffuse cloud, and then a much paler orange-brown fading to dull blue-brown. In complete contrast to these horizontals is the orange ball of the sun in the background, and in the foreground, the right-hand third of the image consists of the disorderly branches and leaves of a large eucalypt, in black silhouette against the background.

I love the contrast between the straight-edge horizontals, and the unruly grace of the tree's silhouette.

Sunrise over a silhouetted suburban skyline, with trees, house roofs and utility poles. The skyline is a black frieze along the bottom of the picture, the rest is a cloudscape with dense clouds lit bright orange on the horizon, and more scattered clouds in light and dark greys and pinks higher up.

In the foreground a large, mirror-like pool stretches the width of the photo, with low rock walls rising up from a lip at the far end. Trees on either side are reflected in the pool. Beyond we can see far-distant wooded ridges stretching to the blue-hazed horizon. It is approaching dusk, and the light is fading but not gone.

High night-time view over dark, gently rolling hills out to sea. A light mist has gathered in the nearest valley, drifting skeins of white floating over the trees, while the whole view has a slightly foggy quality. Scattered lights from houses shine dimly through the mist, while in the distance the brighter lights of a coastal town mark land's edge.

Golden sunrise over a dark plain, almost invisible except for a shining dam in the middle distance and a tiny sprinkling of lights along the coast. On the horizon are a few low clouds over an also-dark sea, while the sky goes from deep orange through yellow, pale blue to a dark blue higher up. The picture is strongly framed left and right by the branches of two silhouetted eucalypts.

Crescent moon caught in the darkly silhouetted branches of a eucalypt

Brisbane river at dawn. In the foreground are moored boats and a ferry, while behind a distant river-bank silhouette is backlit by a thin strip of growing orange below a still slate-blue sky. Framing the image are the silhouetted bare branches of a jacaranda tree, a crescent moon caught in the tip of one branch.

Crescent moon at dawn. A high view out over a dark plain, edged where it meets the sea with distant lights. The horizon is limned golden orange, while the sky above grades to a darkening blue. The image is framed on both sides by the silhouetted branches and leaves of much closer trees, and floating high above is a small crescent moon.

Minimalist full moon in Venus's belt, imagined as a portrait-mode Japanese scroll painting. The moon sits off-centre near the bottom of the image, suspended in the rising blue of coming dusk. Above the sky graduates slowly from a dusky pink to an almost neutral white. The top of the image is framed by the drooping branch and leaves of a eucalypt.

(An aside for @philolithia.bsky.social) #photography #art #infinite8horizon #moon

The silhouette of a distant Brisbane suburban ridgeline runs across the bottom of the image. Outlined against a deep orange sky are trees, house roofs and power poles, with a few pin-point streetlights and houselights visible. Rising up behind is a gradient of dawn light from dark orange though orange-yellow to fading indigo. Floating above in the sky is the thinnest sliver of a fingernail moon barely visible against the growing light.

An intense orange and pink sunrise lights up clouds from horizon to top of frame. The view is from high on a wooded escarpment looking out over a distant plain, stretching out to the sea and clouded horizon. The picture is framed by the silhouettes of nearby eucalypts, with two kookaburras perched on the branches of the closest tree.
