Sunrise In The Studio

I had to run and grab my camera this morning when I walked into my studio.

The sunrise was spectacular!

I have a small stained glass piece hanging in my window that I made years ago.

It depicts a sunrise with the sky above it and land/water below it.

I was totally surprised when the rising sun lit the panels up to make it really look that way.

Now you can be amazed as well, since I took pictures of it as it happened.

Here comes the sun...
You can see the tail feather of a bird mobile that I have
hanging in my window.

This really shows the beautiful movement in the piece of glass
that I chose for this panel.
 I love the way that the sun is illuminating the glass.

I thought this looked the same way that water does
when the sun ripples off of waves (the lower left panel
with the sun behind it).

The illumination of this glass is truly spectacular.
(excuse the line on the right-hand side- it's the cord from the blinds)

Amazing how the sun is right at the sun on the glass!

I might get up early just to see this every morning.

 I have always enjoyed the sunrise from this window but I've never seen it through the stained glass panel this way. You can be sure that I will notice it from now on.
