Dawn. Plaza de Colón, Madrid

One of the joys of teaching Business English is the early start of a morning! Top executives want to have their classes between 7 and 8:30. I do sometimes get to see sunrises in compensation!

... striking fiery sky: colors and texture ... dark silhouettes anchor the foreground ...

... an early choice: which to grab first, coffee or camera? ...

Ha ha, Wally! I already had 2 strong coffees on waking! No chance of getting out of the house without them at this time of the morning!

Ahh, so that's dawn? I am never awake at dawn, so I don't know what it looks like. ;-)
Gorgeous shot, Andy.

Andy Rodker ^club has replied to Diane Putnam ^club

During 2012 and 2013 I saw many dawns (not as many sunsets due to to being at work!); far more than usual. I wonder if it might have been something to do with volcanic dust from the Icelandic eruption of a year or so earlier but I don't really know. They don't seem to be as frequent these days!

Fire in the sky and lovely silhouettes. Who is atop that pillar? He must get great views over the city.

When I came to Madrid I saw this statue in Plaza de Colon and had absolutely no idea. Only much later did I discover that Christobal Colon is the Spanish for Christopher Columbus!!!!!!!
