BTW I didn’t mean to suggest that the colours in this image were produced by pollution or global warming. They were not. The restricted palette of this sunrise moment seems to me quite awe-inspiring, even beautiful. Other Hi members felt this way as well, including one who cited Psalms 19:1. So, why did I raise the issue of the dying sea? Because my first emotional response to this particular conjunction of colors produced an almost post-apocalyptic vision of the world, a perfect backdrop for a sci-fi or horror flick. I’m glad that several commentators brought me back to the pure glory of the heavens. ↩
