That Golden Glow

Carmi, of Written.Inc, has set "That Golden Glow" for this week's Thematic Photographic theme. 
Like him, I also love late afternoon and early morning light, which bring a golden glow to the land. 

It was very late afternoon when we reached the Twelve Apostles on the Great Ocean Road between 
Melbourne and South Australia. 
The rocks positively radiated warm golden light:



This is the famous cat which lives in the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul - famous because 
President Obama stroked him when they met. 
He stands in the warm evening sun which is coming in low through the stained glass:


And sunlight shining through flax leaves outside my classroom turns them golden...


Have a golden Thursday!

  1. Sadly we are losing our apostles. Some have already gone.
    I love the light you have captured. Warm and inviting. Comfort photography.

  3. Those are so cool! Wikipedia says there used to be 13, and the ocean has taken away 5 so far. Good that you got to see them and take pictures.

    1. They are stunning, at any time of day. I'm sure I saw 9, but a couple were so small as to be barely there.

  4. That second picture is wonderful and for a change I'd praise that cat.

    1. Thanks Bob. She (or he) did fit her surroundings rather well, and wasn't worried about all the people in the church.

    1. Thanks Gilly. I feel the same way about other places. I haven't done much travelling lately, and my feet sure are itchy!

  8. Those first two look a lot like Southern Utah, if it were flooded with sea water. Beautiful.
