caught crepuscular rays weave winged words

I have proposed POP theory;
think I’ve proved sunrise can be pinky,
but it is for others to study it rigorously.

There was another clear sunrise today, and I was awake, but decided not to photograph it as I took some yesterday. While some may consider me an extremist or fanatic for what I have recorded, for true scientific sunrise/twilight research, every one would have to be recorded for hours, from first light to bright sky.

Maybe there is someone doing that: to distinguish the colours, and how cloud forms in different parts of the sky, and how they interact? Or maybe there will be…

Here’s three photos from the previous time I took some previous to yesterday’s, on January 26th, when pre-dawn pulsating pinky penetrated a mostly cloudy morning, with a band of yellowy orange in the middle of it, like POP with purple on the end; the grey sky looks purplish in the cropped last photo.

They also show how an edit can change the scene. I think they have a different colour to yesterday’s set.

Regarding the post title, I was listening to Solstafir while writing the post, with the name apparently meaning crepuscular rays.
