Another special sunrise

[george7378]

Here's another sunrise I can't resist posting - this morning's Sun was blocked out by quite a lot of low haze, and looked really beautiful as it lit up the world - almost like it was waking up and had just started the long day-shift. I could even see the sunspot group 1158 with the naked eye (before I took these photos), and I noticed that it is really racing towards the east - I soon won't be able to take photos of it any more as it will be going behind the trees until autumn. Here are the photos:

Very peaceful. Nice sharp focus on the foreground foliage.
