Sunrise over Omdurman

Readers will notice that the above photo is very similar to my new header photo. I took approximately sixty photos of this sunrise on Monday morning. I just couldn't get enough of this beautiful sky

    Hi Jo, What gorgeous sunrise pictures.... WOW!!!! We got some good sunrise and sunset pictures this week also.

    We're having a wonderful time in Arkansas--but it's passing by too quickly. The weather has been great considering the fact that it was snowing at home.

    Hugs,
    Betsy

    Hi Sylvai;) Isn't it fun to just click away with a digital camera? Hope you're having a wonderful weekend.

    Thanks Ladyfi;) the colours of the African sun are amazing.

    Oh Betsy;) you are missed by all of us here in Bloggerland. I'm so glad you're having good weather and enjoying the holiday. Bless you. (((Hugs))) Jo

    Thanks Julie :)

    It does, Sunny;) when I feel a little lethargic about getting up onto the roof for my daily jog, I remember the sun is rising with great photo opportunities and that motivates me-ha!

    Welcome to my blog, Anna, I'll pop over to yours shortly.

    Hi Steffi;) thanks for joining this post and your kind comment. Have a good weekend, too.

    Then you have difficulty deciding which ones to use. Lovely colours as usual.

    Gorgeous, Jo! I too sometimes use the "continuous shooting" function and get dozens of shots to choose from. It's hard to pick a favorite some time!

    Hi Pat, it's fun to keep on clicking - but as you say, the selection is more difficult! Bless you.

    Thanks Carolina mountains;)
