I learn to prophesy the hid eclipse,
The coming of eccentric orbs;
To mete the dust the sky absorbs,
To weigh the sun, and fix the hour each planet dips.

It looks like the sky opened up just a little bit for your winter sun to shine thru. This is an excellent photo!
I love how dark the water is! it makes that bit of light even more stunning
Oh! More of your exquisite lake/sky photographs! I never tire of looking at them.

I need to read more Hardy poems.

gilding the waves --how tricky that winter sun is, how it fools me with it's golden rays into thinking maybe it's mild out there.
actually we've had two misty mild days, but I feel a change is coming.
I've been getting a lot of Uns today, unism and unlerper being the most pronounce-able .
I like his novels very much, and have not given his poems enough attention. will root around for some.
in awe here. Great capture of a singular moment and the Hardy quote is wonderful.
This photo is fantastic!
Water is ever-changing and this and the previous photo are extraordinary, I just love them.
Simply artistic capture. Happy weekend.
I LOVE that photo. The sun in it is so cool!
Beautiful.... I love the contrasts and the way the sun emerging is reflected on the water. Lovely poetry too go with it too.
That is so beautiful it's almost eerie and unreal! What a fabulous photo! Thanks, I never tire of looking at your photos either.
This picture is what cameras ware made of. Beautiful beyond the words to capture it.
Brrr...that lake looks so cold. Beautiful, but cold.
BTW, your link on the Skywatch main page is misspelled - clud instead of cloud. But I found you anyway.
I wish Blogger would fix that darned bug. I switched my comment format for a few days and switched it right back when I figured out what was going on.
I love that water! Your softened clouds are wonderful. I love the way the clouds respond to light this time of year.
Wow what a fantastic skywatch shot, definately one of my favourites thus far this week. Thanks so much.

A hole in the sky. What a great shot over the Lake. MB
Nice silvery reflection at the horizon. Beautiful shot!
Beautiful! If I weren't in my pjs, I'd be tempted to jump in the car and drive up to the lake just to see if I could see something equally beautiful in person.
I really love this photo. So extreme yet calm. Excellent Skywatch post.
