This morning dazzled us with its sunbeams; if only for a few minutes.

The golden sun rising over the distant horizon broke through the grey and white clouds.

The city buildings of Marseille have yet to come out of the darkness.

“There's a lot more power in calm than in vituperation.”
- Dennis Prager.

I admit that I had to look up the word vituperation 🤔…it means harsh and angry criticism! 🍊

This mornings calm sunrise over Marseille.

In the foreground the city buildings are coming out of the shadows. The pink and yellow sky is separated by the dark horizon.

Grey clouds line the said horizon.

This morning’s sunrise over Marseille.

The sky appears to be on fire. The distant horizon and city buildings frame the fire with darkness.

Several grey clouds remain.
