Good morning... is a grey day today. I haz brolly.

Sometimes the sun rises but you don’t see it. I am quite used to this as a Wellingtonian.

It’s set to rain here shortly, which will be very welcome. And possibly photogenic. In the meantime here’s a macro, rapidly zooming out view from above.

Still grey.

.... pretty though.

... ^^ caption: My morning Sunrise companion and where the sun is, if we could see it. There is light rain here now... but brolly not yet needed. The rain is coming from behind the tree.

These are wheat fields btw. In France 🇫🇷 there is a high level of freedom to move around the countryside, through farms. The Liberté of movement law approach dates back to the revolution, provides a wonderful amenity and bolsters the notion of Egalité.
