sunrise photos: mistymuse encore

I wasn’t expecting to see the sunrise this morning, but hadn’t remembered until seeing the sun that British Summer Time (BST) had started eleven days ago, requiring we turned time on an hour, meaning the sunrise also went on an hour, from 5.51 on the 27th to 6.48 (would’ve been 5.48, as first sight of the sun is about 2/3 minutes earlier per day) on the 28th.

Eleven days later, the ‘sunrise’ today was at 6.24. The ash tree (Yggdrasil) is now budding, and very popular with the birds!

Sun’s Journey Over A Month (Really it’s our orbital journey and changing view)

The ‘sunrise’ continues up the horizon though. Although it seems to be departing for me, earlier and nearly out of sight, for the northern hemisphere as a whole it is in fact more visible; earlier and for longer.

Comparing it to this photo from March 6th (last year, but it’s roughly the same every year) shows how much farther up the horizon it ‘rises’ over a month. This morning it rose between the two trees under ‘Yggdrasil’, where the arrow points.

moon ash tree: monastery

Seeing full moon rise through an ash tree
made me put them together linguistically,
and second time sounded like monastery.

The world tree of Nordic religion/mythology is an ash: Yggdrasil. The scene made me think of putting the moon in the middle first, but it didn’t evoke anything.

This week on Facebook I posted an article about a native Australian’s feelings for trees, and a UK TV C4 documentary about native Amazonian artwork having been discovered on a cliff face; with great greenYgrey scenes!

I also wrote of Europe/UK’s right to do the same: protecting our nature and people. It’s what I’ve been doing for the last 20 years.

mistYmuse time and the last post inspired me to update this site for the first time since the greenYgrey age!
