Footprints of My Mind

(English at the bottom) 縮時攝影 展現一天天色的變化。 最初是星空和日出的雲海； 最震撼是最後一幕的【火燒雲】， 然後光華落幕。 背景 音樂  'Anthem' ， 是 Vangelis  為 2002 年 日韓合辦的世界杯所作的主題曲。 他亦曾因為電影【列火戰車】主題曲而揚名。 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5T9LLtpJHg Special photographic technique was used  to present the spectacular scenery of the sky  from sunrise to sunset. The music is called 'Anthem',  which is composed by Vangelis for  the 2002 FIFA World Cup held in Japan and Korea.  Vangelis is also the composer of the theme of the film 'Chariots of Fire'.

2 Dec 2016 Jets of air from two aeroplanes created an 'X' contrails  above the silvery clouds lit by the morning sun. Contrails are condensation trails from planes. It's normal to see one, but seldom two crossing each other in this area. Moreover,  this area is not the normal routes of planes. In the past, I only saw planes rising up from the eastern sky and head towards the west. 昨天起床無意中望出窗外， 驚見如此景象！ 若再早些， 那麼飛機噴出的白煙， 在天空留下的交义應該會更清晰！ 一條白煙偶爾可見， 但兩架飛機留下的白煙交叠甚少見， 而且那部分的空域， 平時不見有飛機飛過，這些方向更 不是慣常飛機航道。以往 所見， 飛機由山嶺上「升起」， 從圖左方飛向右方。

The beautiful scenery has reminded me of  'All things bright and beautiful', a joyous hymn which  I used to enjoy singing when I was small: All Things Bright And Beautiful Hymn All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful, The Lord God made them all. Each little flower that opens, Each little bird that sings, He made thei...

(English translation at the bottom) 這天， 看見一幅晨光雲霞照片， 有感而發，不禁想到： 雲的構圖配合日出照射， 天空展現不同層次的色彩， 不容易拍攝得到， 要有 「天時地利」。 雲常被喻為困難， 但有雲霞， 才將太陽多變的色彩如畫筆般， 在穹蒼的畫布上盡情揮灑出來， 隨著風將雲塑造， 沒有一次創作的構圖與色彩是相同的。 風、雲、光的合奏與變奏，創意無限。 8.9.2017 後記： 此後， 開始 思考所見景物與 大自然創造設計的關係， 並構思透過網誌記下來。 近年一些日出照片，異景同工。 2013.10.19 Artistic zigzag pattern altocumulus clouds  邊緣之字型的高積雲 2014.10.21 Cirrocumulus clouds at dawn 晨曦下的捲積雲 2014.10.21 火焰捲積雲 cirrocumulus clouds like red flames 2015.12.17 Altocumulus clouds 高積雲下揮灑的金光 On 25.11.2016, a friend's photo of daybreak sunlight  shinning on a spectacular  cloud pattern inspired me to think :  The photo showed forms of clouds  which showed  variations in  the colors of the sky at daybreak  when the sun lit up the clouds.  It was not a photo that could be easily taken.  Further thoughts: 'Every cloud has a silver lining' -  an analogy is drawn between clouds  and difficulties in life.  But...
