Since the beginning of the 90s, I can recall experiencing the sharp glare emanating from the gradual assent of the sun from Whaligoe Steps. It is a wonderful sight and reminder of the serene beauty of nature itself. Lost in my thoughts at various times of the early morning whilst poised on the Bink (grassy platform which greets you once you have descended the Steps), I have surveyed the grand expanse of the north sea right to the horizon, only to be dazzled quite literally by the harsh intensity of the sun.
I thought to myself how bright and beautiful it would be to collate some images of the various sunrises in recent months and slot them in here, as a blog entry. So if you have a spare moment, sit with me, put on your sunglasses and witness some moments I have captured of some sunrises. Not only the start of a new day, but in this instance the beginning of a new blog post.
The clip above was one of my first ever attempts utilising a “hyperlapse” feature I was shown by some friendly visitors to Whaligoe Steps. By accident I observed a grey seal head bobbing on the surface of the sea during the filming of this unfolding moment and if you look carefully, you’ll notice it go from the left side to the right.
“Metal Orchids Bathed in Gold”
Flowering energy, rotation so bold
powering synergy to a canvas of gold
Beatrice standing tall on horizon so still
caught in sunrise that defies my will
Metallic orchids rise up tall in silhouette
reminding of their grace and industrial concept
Bathing in changing waters so deep
ascending the sky like steps so steep
Reflected liquid mirror shines too
not overshadowed by the view
From Whaligoe Steps I can clearly see
your beauty unfold before me
Some more photographs that have been taken of various sunrises since August to now…
Many thanks for your time, take care and stay safe.
