Winter light 2019

The days are getting shorter and therefore the early mornings are darker - today we rose with the first blush of colour in the sky.

I began my walk in grey light.

It does not take long for the light to push back the darkness.

The colours of flowers and rust can emerge.

 But then the strength of the light of the day wanes and the pinks, blues and peach colours return before the day fades into grey and then darkness again.
