  1. Did you see The Storyteller? I love the first season, the second is good but maybe a bit less because the myths are more known here and the tone is more serious. But I always recall in that season a woman saying something like “some say the sky is blue, but it can take any color, it can be wine, it can be..” Each sunset and sunrise in your post is wonderful and have a myriad of different colors. Thank you, fragglerocking. My favorite is the sleepy angry eye over the port of Dover.

      1. Heresy 😨! it won Emmy award to Outstanding Children’s Program and the BAFTA award for Best Children’s Programme. Is by Jim Henson, the author and master puppeteer of The Muppets and a show I have not seen called The Fraggle Rock 😀
        It is in Amazon Prime, if you someday watch the first season I am sure it will be a nice experience as it is made for children but also is complex enough and the craftmanship is so elevated that you can enjoy it as an adult too, it was a co production of the U.S., Canada and U.k. Here is a part I found in youtube of one of the stories https://youtu.be/1t_e_uY9T68

  2. Very nice indeed, Jane. The Angel silhouettes are most fine. Great you included some tiny folks there to show the scale of that massive structure.

  7. The only problem I have with sunrises is usually how early they come in the morning. Kind of ridiculous if you think about it. I’m thinking 8am-10am would have been a much better time for them 😉

  12. I don’t get up early anymore, so prefer sunsets to sunrise. When I still lived in London, the best sunset was looking west on Waterloo Bridge. That’s why Ray Davies wrote his song, undoubtedly.

    Best wishes, Pete.
