December 14th tropical sunrise and what was to be another scorcher of a day before a cool change (electrical thunderstorm) finally came later that evening. View taken from the Innisfail Wharf, over looking the Johnstone River, Innisfail, Far North Queensland, Australia.

The sun was actually a peachy red but my camera and with only a standard lens doesn’t pick up the colour, such is the intensity of the sun’s light even with the diffusing cloud cover on the horizon. There is a hint of it’s colour in the water reflections. Best viewed large. 8 )
