大自然的聖誕禮物 ... A Christmas gift from the nature

圖片
今天是拆聖誕禮物日 (Boxing Day), 今早上主送我一份期待已數月的禮物  ─ 漫天金霞列陣, 一如去年12月22日冬至景象。 第一眼所見,滿天碎雲片片,預告金霞即將出現: 2018.12.26    6:24 a.m.  十分鐘後晨光像燃燒雲霞: 6:34 a.m.  不料橙黃光微現後,旭日被密雲遮擋,孤軍難突破,天色反而更灰暗: 6:40 a.m.  原本已不抱厚望,但半小時後終見雲被染金: 7:08 a.m.   旭日突破重圍: 7:13 a.m.  白色範圍是太陽真身,霧霾令光更金: 7:15 a.m.  太陽越升高,金變淡: 7:19 a.m. 今年秋冬,温度較以往高,誰說全球沒有暖化? 今年華南氣候反常,十二月仍穿夏裝! 去年秋冬常天朗氣清,觀日出成果豐碩, 目不暇給,以為今年又可照樣欣賞; 但久候多月,潮濕多雲, 清晨海面多雲、霧霾,阻礙旭日出現, 年近歲晚,本已不存厚望, 誰料今早再度遇上?如上主聖誕禮物, 如見上主榮光。 雖同樣是金霞列陣, 但與去年相比,似乎遜色, 不過亦應欣喜,聖誕禮物如此壯觀! 去年冬至霞光,至今難忘, 金霞列陣,軍容齊整, 沒有霧霾,光芒盡現: https://footprintsinsand2016.blogspot.com/2017/12/golden-clouds-on-winter-solstice.html

光照在黑暗裡 ... The light shines in the darkness...

(English illustrations above each photo and at the bottom of this article.) 前天早上初見漫天長條雲密佈,如麵包師捲成的麵粉卷。 從未見過如此景象,但太陽不見影蹤,還以為與晴天無緣: This was the first sight yesterday morning, with clouds like long flour rolls spreading across the whole sky:   Flour rolls across the sky. 雲排舖天 7:24 a.m. 半小時後再探視,廣闊雲塊被風推移, 肉眼可見緩緩移動,如天幕拉開, 展現背後的高清藍天。 陽光照耀下,雲鑲上銀邊, 奇在雲塊邊緣如此整齊分明, 如將天空切開,半邊明亮、半邊灰陰, 藍天下卻幽暗,氣氛奇異,驚嘆不已: After half an hour, who could imagine that the clouds had retreated like pulling a curtain or screen across the sky? Half of the sky was still covered in darkness with light trimming the edge of the clouds. Silver lining sky screen. Stunning. 天幕銀邊 7:59 a.m. 雲穩步隱退,太陽續爬升,一退一進, 白日終於露面,卻令雲及大地顯得更幽暗: The sun started to appear above the silver lining clouds.  雲上太陽 8:00 a.m. 烏雲如幕;白日如輪,倒映銀波如鏡: The white sun above the dark clouds hanging over silvery reflections on the water: The ...
