暗中有光?紅霞光 ... Bright red clouds during sunset

圖片
(With English at the bottom) 今天是耶穌受難日, 聽見新聞報導, 說教宗為囚犯洗腳, 並勉勵囚犯要懷有希望, 不要容許灰暗遮蔽自己的生命觀。 近年曾經多次, 目睹日落前灰暗的天色中, 竟有發光的紅霞,究竟是甚麼一回事? 除了日出日落時天際常見彩霞, 近年也開始留意日落前的東南面天空, 因為偶然會出現另一種霞光, 就是突然越來越光及由白轉紅的雲霞, 但幾分鐘後便回復暗淡。 15 March 2018 最近一次偶遇已半月前, 夕陽映照下, 在東面的白雲突然開始發光及變紅, 但三分鐘後開始轉淡,直至光芒收去: 15 Mar 2018     6:29 p.m. 15 Mar 2018     6:32 p.m. 15 Jan 2018 再對上一次偶遇,已是兩個半月前, 除了雲發光及變紅, 雲的飛絮多方向擴散,形態優雅! 這是第一眼所見:雲開始發光轉紅: 15 Jan 2018     6:07 p.m. 三分鐘後,最紅: 15 Jan 2018     6:10 p.m. 再過三分鐘後,光芒已減弱: 15 Jan 2018     6:13 p.m. 3 Jan 2018 不過也不是每次發光後一定變紅。 這天雲 如飛翼 形態奇特, 本只打算拍攝奇雲: 3 Jan 2018     5:45 p.m. 四分鐘後雲最光,但不算太紅: 3 Jan 2018     5:49 p.m. 13 Oct 2017 這天傍晚雲的形態獨特, 底部平坦, 飛絮向上擴散如火焰: 13 Oct 2017     6:02 p.m. 四分鐘後最紅最光, 像烈焰衝天! 如與雲下山景比較, 可見範圍之廣, 看見深感震撼: 13 Oct 2017     6:06 p.m. 21 Sep 2017 這天天邊雲發紅光, 雲的形態亦獨特, 平坦伸展,形態優雅; 藍天伴紅雲,氣氛...

每早晨,這都是新的 - 春分以來四天的日出 ... "It's new every morning" - sunrise on four consecutive days after vernal equinox

(With English at the bottom) 本以為三月份的日出沒有秋冬般壯觀,想不到 在寒流後21/3天色奇特; 22/3雲的形狀驚喜,太陽大為縮小、 23/3見金蛋、24/3旭日 矇矓 。 原來在能見度、透光度影響下,太陽面貌如此多變! 21.3.2018     6:21 a.m. A gold light sketched across the sky 一道金光劃過長空 22.3.2018     6:42 a.m. As clouds reduced sunlight, the sun became a small light dot. The zigzag shaped gap within the clouds created an interesting sight. 可能有雲減弱光線,太陽變成小光點 雲間有之字形空隙,奇特有趣 23.3.2018     7:00 a.m. A golden egg. 金蛋 24.3.2018     7:18 a.m. The smog reduced the size of the sun considerably. 霧霾下太陽矇矓,也大為縮小 連日拍攝下,開始留意到照片時間, 以及太陽與山峰相對位置。 但為何白日時大時細、時高時矮、 出現的時間一天比一天遲? 21.3.2018     7:43 a.m. 22.3.2018     7:49 a.m. 23.3.2018     7:50 a.m. 24.32018     8:04 a.m. 原來太陽移動的軌跡每天都在變化, 移動路徑每天靠左些及升高些,因此位置每天不停變動; 若陽光受雲或霧霾煙霞影響透光度,太陽會縮小! 3月9日拍攝陽光耀山頂(下圖) 但如上圖所示,春分及其後三天的太陽, 未見在峰頂散發光芒, 那麼為甚麼 3月9日卻有此現象? 這才更懂得感恩,原來「金頂」如此珍貴! 若想再見,要等半年後了! 9.3.2018...

Sunrise on Chinese calendar’s vernal equinox - There is a time for everything 春分的日出 – 『凡事都有定期』

(中文在下半部分) Sunrise on Chinese calendar's vernal equinox - "There is a time for everything" The weather on 21 March 2018 after a cold front was very fine. I saw a golden yellow band of light sketched across the sky, which landed on the ranges and looked very peculiar like an artistic drawing. Actually, it might be a narrow gap where the clouds were thinner and thus allowed the sunlight to pass through: 2018.3.21       6:21 a.m. The golden yellow band became shorter,  but the sky became more golden, predicting that the sun was going to appear: 2018.3.21         6:33 a.m. As the sunlight turned stronger,  the centre changed from golden yellow to white: 2018.3.21         6:36 a.m. As the sky was very clear and the air quality was very good  on this day,  the sun appeared extraordinarily huge.  Under the digital lens, the color rings were distinct.  Of course they could not be c...
