An “Eye of Sauron” Sunrise

Posted on May 3, 2011 by Matthew Green

I didn’t have a headache this morning, but I was still up to see the sunrise. It was very different from the past few days – the sun and it’s reflection were two splotches of glowing, fiery, almost baleful color in an otherwise drab and gloomy world. It made me think of the Eye of Sauron.

Despite the inauspicious beginning and the gloomy forecast, it turned out to be a nice day…

  Thanks! I didn’t retouch any part of the photo – I only slightly tweaked the overall contrast and saturation.
