Sunrise on July 18

Who new that Cat Stevens did not write these lyrics?

As Sung by Cat Stevens

lyrics by Eleanor Farjeon

Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for the springing fresh from the word

Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dewfall, on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where his feet pass

Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day

The sunrise start in the northeast and swept across the sky to the southeast - where the shot was taken of the Barrington Harbor Master House.

July 18 2011 - the beginning of the sunrise that swept across the sky to the picture that was chosen as the PAD.  Key lesson - waiting is important.

An excellent composition. Beautiful subtle morning colours too!

Great series of sunsets. Each is beautiful in its own way. I didn't know Cat Stevens didn't write the lyrics either.

I love all the scenes here, so dear to my Pisces heart. Beautiful ambiance and perfect for the song.
