Beautiful Sunrises in the Land Below the Wind

We are very blessed to live in a place where every morning we can see sunrises of different shades and colors, a testimony to God’s wondrous creations no artist can ever hope to replicate. The first photograph shows the moon in the sky which is still dark. We were waiting for first light before teeing off.



I would like to share some beautiful sunrises as the dark skies break into light and what gorgeous colors they are.  These were taken from the fairways of the golf course where my buddy and I have our nine holes in the early mornings.

The picture on the right is around 6:15 a.m. where the sky has lightened.  The picture on the left is about ten minutes later and taken from the green.

These morning scenes are very lovely and refreshing to the spirit.  God the artist always creates a different canvas each morning. Glory be to Him.

Approaching Changi Airport

It's just a two hour flight into Singapore from where we live. When the pilot announced that we were on the descent into Singapore, out came my camera to capture it. It had been a very smooth flight across the South China Sea.

We were still above a sea of clouds.

Then we cut through to the lower level of cumulous clouds.

After we broke through the cloud cover, there were ships below which I guess must be heading towards or away from Singapore.

Then we approached land.

We flew over a golf course, with its bunkers and lakes. It looked very pretty from above.
Soon we landed and taxied into the airport heading towards the gate where we would disembark.  Along the way there were other aeroplanes parked at their gates.
Disembarkation was swift and the immigration process was a breeze. Retrieving our luggage was also fast and soon we were in a cab on the way to see our little grandson.
