Here comes the sun, a photo from Fyn, East

Photographer's Note

This title chosen in memory of Georges Harrison and his great song from the Abbey Road album.

Please note this picture only resized – and colours were in fact even brighter then the pictures.

I use to take my camera with every day in car, when heading for work. How ever, this morning had I decided to leave it at home, due to a busy day. But when I opened the door and looked at the sky there was no doubt – I had to get the camera AT ONCE. I can’t remember ever seeing a sunrise like this, and I manage to get some nice shot – even some with a sun pillar (It’s the second time – I been so lucky)

This sunrise was the talk of the day for those who saw it and the local newspaper (released at 2 pm.) had a big photo on the front page (the headline of the day ;-)

Second note! I think the camera captured the scenery pretty much like it was - but the purple colour filled half of the sky and gave a brighter light and impression which impossible to catch.

A beautiful capture Jeppe. Very nicely done. It's an impressive sunrise.

With colors such as this it should be the talk of the month not just of the day, I'm glad you got your camera.

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right

Amazing beauty captured by you......

Good thing you took your camera anyway. I never saw a sunrise like this. Very good shot; I love the colours and the texture of the clouds.

I'm speechless........
You say you got lucky, but maybe the Gods had this gift for you, for something beautiful you have done in the past...
Wonderful picture. Congratulations!

The horison is in fire. Great sky, well captured, great colours. Well done, bravo Jeppe

tuffellow (546) 2004-03-04 14:49

Great colours and detail in contrast to black foreground. Nice song to name it after too!

Georges (11185) 2004-03-04 15:16

L'image est impressionante et la texture du ciel est magnifique bravo Jeppe.

cecile (4193) 2004-03-04 15:26

très joli nuage, on dirait que l'horizon brule.... vite appelez les pompiers!!! ;-)

Rockyboy (20598) 2004-03-04 15:34

What a wonderful sunrise and it is difficult to imagine the colors brighter! Very nice, Jeppe!

zto (268) 2004-03-04 15:56

I am so glad you brought your camera Jeppe. If you haden't you would be sorry for a very long time. I once saw a "Once in a liftime" sunrise and i didnt have may camera (I was on the morning train to Stockholm). I can still see this sunrise in my mind but i wish i could share it with more pepole. It was the most beautifull thing i have ever seen. Thank you for sharing your sun rise Jeppe. Those colours are extrodinary.

gbac (1933) 2004-03-04 15:59

Très impressionnantes ces couleurs on a l'impression que le ciel est en feu et ces arbres au premier plan complète très bien la composition de l'image.

dominique (11414) 2004-03-04 16:12

At the good place, the good moment, explosive colors with in more one good framing, well considering.

jiherka (4552) 2004-03-04 16:24

Great shot Jeppe. It seems that the sky is burning, or it is the trees ? In any case, the sunrise if a mystic moment, and to be present when the coulds try to stop the new sun, it's always a great event. Like your picture.
BRAVO.

JacquesLanctot (501) 2004-03-04 16:31

Well done, I have the impression that the bushes are on fire and are burning some kind of a gaz. Super, color perfect.

FrancisSanto (525) 2004-03-04 17:45

how long did this transcendental event last ??

RobBrown (1797) 2004-03-04 18:15

A REAL WOW OF A RISE, just love it , the change of the tree colours as well as all the other colours. well captured.

milloup (1829) 2004-03-04 18:48

Weell, maybe it's time to start getting up a bit earlier ;-)) The colours are brilliant and luminous, and the way the sun catches the treetops makes it look like a Danish bushfire.

Robertsu (134) 2004-03-04 18:50

I think the sunrises are better for good pictures then late afternoon...
Get your photo every day with you, don't mis thing's like this.

mogens-j (56) 2004-03-04 18:52

Woooow, it looks almost like a fire Jeppe. This picture is breathtaking. I have never seen a sunrise like this - not even on Whitsun when I was younger:-)).

Great job.

nwoehnl (122) 2004-03-04 20:03

Stunning capture, Jeppe. I can see why a sunrise like that would claim a front page spot in the papers. I have rarely seen a sky with so much texture, and the range of purple, orange and yellow tones is stupendous. Thanks for being there and sharing this moment with us.
Titled after my favorite George song from the Beatles era - besides "Something", which I notice would also make a fine title for a TE posting ;-)

orme (7219) 2004-03-05 0:08

A spectacular sunrise, Jeppe. The colours are just amazing. You captured it very well. Very well framed with the silhouettes at the bottom. Well done.

avigur_11 (22397) 2004-03-05 4:53

Wow, what a fire in the sky. Jeppe, please, never forget your camera. I carry it everywhere, even when I walk with the dog at midnight..we can always have surprises.

This is an excellent capture. Very well seen and done.

Motrem (2392) 2004-03-05 6:47

I cannot remain silencieuce in front of such a sky. Colours are magnificent and it is the spectacle that only the nature can offer us. Very beautiful composition and good technique.

Je ne peux rester silencieuce devant un tel ciel. Les couleurs sont magnifiques et c'est un spectacle que seule la nature peut nous offrir. Très belle composition et bonne technique.

henrye (3500) 2004-03-05 7:10

Fantastic sunrise. One of the best I've seen on TE! I like the composition, and the balance between earth and sky. Awesome colors. Well done!

Schultzy (5446) 2004-03-05 14:47

snsk (796) 2004-03-11 7:23

Excellent shot, the colors are remarkable the combination of light with clouds created a very nice texture.

Eagle78 (1933) 2004-03-22 15:10

Wow! Simply amazing! These colors are stunning and the textures from clouds are really, really great. What a capture Jeppe!

Kenny10pin (19301) 2004-03-28 11:28

great pic here too, very well done, i like the colours of the rainbow in this shot. I hope the party is as good as the colours in this shot.

well done and great foreground too

Zanni (6108) 2004-04-05 10:45

Am I late to give you two admiration points?

veal (0) 2004-04-10 19:40

This is my favorite sunrise photograph ever. I have never seen anything like the colors that have been so richly captured here. The way you've captured the sun setting the treetops on fire is wonderful. And the spectacular contrast between the gold bursting out at the bottom building to the purple at the top is excellent. The framing is just right for this once-in-a-lifetime morning event. Very, very well done.

Hanssie (10932) 2004-04-23 14:26

64 points until now.
And I did not have seen this one ?
O.k. 66 points.
What a beautiful nature you've captured here.

Apropos oplevet, denne dag husker jeg, var på vej til sen aftenmøde på arbejde. Det var lige efter solnedgang, som jeg så og tog billeder af på Handbjerg strand.

Medens jeg kørte på landevejen mellem Vinderup og holstebro, så skiftede denne himmel sig, og dette vidundelige syn kom. Senere gik det over i mere purpur farve.

Jeg har et billede eller 2, dem må du have til gode:-))

Ikke set en himmel før eller siden magen til i Danmark.

Smukt / Kaj

Burnham (2428) 2004-06-06 15:06

Kajs note from today (6/6-04) made me come and look at this shot, which I had missed - Sometimes sunsets are just prettier than we can imagine, I'm spechless!

capthaddock (28790) 2005-03-27 18:28

Hi Jeppe - unreal colours, one of the best sunrises I have ever seen.

dkeus31 (27735) 2005-07-08 0:17

Yes Jeppe,
It is superb also (maybe a little noisy).
Good foreground and colors.
