Voggy Sunrise


When I got up and looked outside my window I saw that the terrible vog that we hate so much had created a sunrise that reminded me of a Hiroshige woodblock print. The clouds were shimmering and the sun looked like an egg yolk being split in two.

However, by the time we clattered about to find our cameras, the window screen down and cameras pointing out, the scene had changed. Still... you can sort of see it. (If you click on the photo, you can blow it up to see it better.)

Our neighbors must think we're crazy.

  2. Gorgeous shot, Kay! And our neighbors decided I was nuts years ago and they're still shaking their heads! What can I say??? I'm a nut! Hope your weekend is going well!

  4. It does look like a wood print. There is usually something good (your unrise) that follows something not good (vog). Have a great weekend.

  6. very nice!

    Just got back from lunch at Mariposa. Got stuck in traffic on Nimitz going toward the viaduct. It took me an hour to drive from Ala Moana Center to Foster Village!

  9. Yikes! I'm glad I'm here! Amoeba is headed to Kona (leaves Sunday returns Thursday). I bet it's nasty there, too.

  14. That's a beautiful, certainly golden, sunrise, Kay. Is "vog" volcanic ash mixed with fog, maybe????

  16. I don't think the neighbors caught me this morning when I was doing something similar.
    Isn't it interesting that those of us who take pictures like to see things through our camera. Sometimes I have to remind myself to just stand and look.

  18. That looks kinda scary.

    I am the only one I've ever seen in this village out with a camera. So I think it is the neighbors who are nuts, not me.

  19. Beautiful picture Kay. So different than what we see down here. I sure hope to be able to visit up there one day soon. I will, if my daughter has anything to say about it! :-)
