As I end the year with sunsets, I feature my first post of new material for the year to have sunrises. I begin back with these two views last June at Lansdowne Park, first on the hill at the east end of the stadium.
And then on the west side of the stadium.
In early July, I took this shot one morning.
A day or two later close to home in Centretown, the morning sky above Dundonald Park caught my eye.
Later in July one morning I was back at Lansdowne, and this shot was taken at the east end of the property.
A few minutes later, this is how things looked from the west side of the stadium.
This early August shot was taken at Dundonald Park.
In early September, back at Lansdowne, I was around on three different days for different dawns. The first was with the Aberdeen Pavilion in the background.
And these were looking at the stadium field from the west.
One November day brought snow. This was taken at first light in Dundonald Park.
And in December one day, the Rideau Canal was starting its freeze up when I was here early one morning. I first photographed the rising sun from one side of the Mackenzie King Bridge.
Then I went to the other side of the bridge and photographed the sunlight on buildings off to the northwest: Parliament Hill and the National Arts Centre on the west side and the Government Conference Centre and the Chateau Laurier on the east side.
The best time of day to be up and about - in my far-from-humble opinion. Your photos seem to back up my statement.
ReplyDeleteI am of the opinion that the best time of day is the two hours before dawn.
DeleteBest times of the day. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome.
DeleteNice series again, William. I especially like the stadium photos, with the last one as a promising highlight for the day.
ReplyDeleteThe stadium is a good spot for dawn shots. Mind you, this time of year the sun's relative position at dawn is over the south stands.
DeleteIt's very difficult to see the difference between sunrise and sunset ! With me it's always sunset, because I am still in bed to watch a sunrise ! Nice pictures !
ReplyDeleteI see some of both.
DeleteEarly morning is not my favourite time of day...I like to sleep. 😉😄
ReplyDeleteI can relate, but there are times I'm up early.
Delete...keep enjoying the sunrises!
ReplyDeleteIndeed.
DeleteSunrise is a very special time of the day most people miss.
ReplyDeleteTrue.
DeleteNice skies in winter.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteBeautiful collection of sky photos!
ReplyDeleteTake care, enjoy your day!
Thank you.
DeleteLove that Canadian flag in the header…perfect capture!
ReplyDeleteMe too.
DeleteSome nice photos. The second stadium photo stands out.
ReplyDeleteIt does.
DeleteThese are wonderful! A great collection. (ツ) from Jenn Jilks , ON, Canada!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteBeautiful. I rarely see it as there are many trees and buildings in my way.
ReplyDeleteI have to go to Dundonald Park for one good spot, but even then, there are going to be trees in the way. Lansdowne is ideal for dawn shots.
DeleteYou have some interesting year long shots all on the same theme.
ReplyDeleteI start with the idea in the summer if I'm out and about early.
Deletemagnificent sun rise photos to brighten our days ~

DeleteI'm rarely awake for a sunrise so it's lovely to see yours!

ReplyDeleteThey were.

ReplyDeleteIndeed.

ReplyDeleteI think so too.
