Spring Dawn

In spring it is the dawn that is most beautiful. As the light creeps over the hills, their outlines are dyed a faint red and wisps of purplish cloud trail over them. 

Sei Shōnagon, Japanese author and lady-in-waiting to Empress Teishi (c. 966-1017)

Hello. Yes I am still here. A major event at work is now successfully put to bed and so I raise my head to enjoy the view of a Spring dawn during the morning commute and am able to share it with you just before resting it upon night's pillow. Thank you for biding with me.
