A funky sunrise / myLot

Australia

May 25, 2023 7:27am CST

I caught the sun as soon as it rose. It was 6 AM and already hot! The funny thing was that the sun looked like a large orange ball of fire when I saw it out of the window. Yet, when I clicked a picture it looked like a small dot! My mind is scrambled now!

It looks hazy in the photo. Are there wild fires burning around your area?

@pitstop Possibly air pollution is causing the haze in the air.

I could still see the orange hue and what a great scene it must have been.

The orange is best just before the sun rises, but I'm rarely awake at that time.

I read 'large orange ball of fire' and scrolled up to have another look at the photo but yep, it's definitely a small dot!!

What a stunning capture of the sunrise. A perfect photo. Often times it is difficult to capture the beauty of nature.

@pitstop You are welcome. I know that feeling, when we feel "warm" to see the sun rises.

I'm sure it's the way we look at it with our eyes vs what the camera captures.
