With a boyfriend who works as an official tour guide for the region of Campania, our days often start early. Especially when his groups depart from Sorrento or Salerno over an hour away. The bright side is that I get the chance to watch the day begin, as the sun climbs up over the mountains across the Bay of Salerno. Yesterday morning, while I was still puttering around the kitchen making a cup of tea, I noticed the bedroom was lit with a bright orange glow that I hadn’t ever seen before. I grabbed my camera and opened the window to find this glorious sight. The vivid orange and the trees silhouetted by the intense darkness reminded me of images I’ve seen of sunrises on the Serengeti. A deep breath of cool, clear air. What a way to start the day … And the New Year!
Buon Anno & Happy New Year wishes to you!!
Buongiorno Laura,
What a beautiful sight!! It’s definitely special to wake up to such a breathtaking gifts from Mother Nature.
Wishing you all the best in 2011.
One of the best parts is that I never know what I’ll find when I open the windows in the morning! 🙂 Buon anno anche a te!!
Beautiful picture! Happy New Year!!!
Thanks, Gil! Wishing you a wonderful 2011! 🙂
Gorgeous! Makes me wish that I was a morning bird instead of a night owl 😛
Happy New Years, Laura!
Ciao Peter! The moonlight across the sea is also a pretty stunning view for the night owls like you. 🙂 (I just don’t have a camera that will capture that very well!) Many happy wishes for the New Year to you, too!
