After yesterday’s spectacular start and the promise of a 20-degree day, I woke with great expectations of another brilliant beginning.
Anticipations of even greater things arose with the warmth being decent enough to enable the year’s first early morning ride in shorts and short-sleeves (albeit with a heattech T-shirt).
Wanting to get higher quality shots of the expected glorious sunrise, I loaded up with the heavy DSLR camera.
And it was with great delight that I headed up the Tamagawa Cycling Road and noticed a bit of patchy cloud cover.
This was delightful as the presence of clouds creates greater visual appeal with sunrises.
And….the clouds ended up taking over.
Approaching the point where yesterday I noticed the sunrise was going to be something special, I was disappointed to see that the morning was still bleak and dark.
And it stayed that way pretty much the whole time for the rest of the ride.
Eventually, despite carrying the camera for the entire ride, I got home without taking a single shot.
At least it was light by the time I got home and I could see the growing number of blossoms starting to flower, including the wattle in the garden.
In keeping with the outcomes of the day, I’d been able to gather considerable video footage of what was frankly an unremarkable ride….but yesterday I got almost no images even though I had thought I was recording most of the trip.
But now, a couple of hours later, it’s shaping up to what looks like a lovely, sunny day! And I am here in shorts and a Hawaiian shirt (more heattech underneath, though!)
