The sun rises in a golden glow behind the Pap of Glencoe, above Loch Leven, Argyll, Scotland.

            Commentary.

An early morning shower has left the shrubs dripping with raindrops like jewels hanging from a chandelier.
In summer sunrises radiate the landscape in the “Golden Hour” between 04:00 and 05:00.
But in November the same hour reverts to 08:00 to 09:00.
In this image, the Pap of Glencoe or Sgorr na Ciche,
above Glencoe village on Loch Leven looms violet, purple and indigo in the shade of a golden sunrise in the east.
That is the great thing.
Sunrises and sunsets can be enjoyed all year at varying times and directions.
Sunrises from south-east in Summer to north-east in Winter.
Sunsets from north-west in Summer to south-west in Winter.
This sunrise being nearer Winter than the Autumn Equinox
was just north-east of east as the days diminish from eighteen hours in June to seven to eight hours in December.
Whenever and wherever, this landscape with a backcloth
of gold, yellow, red and turquoise is superb, just superb.
