Australian sky

Like the initial spark on a gas stove the fiery red glow of the sun rise sparks and burst into life on the horizon. Red fades into gas-stove light blue and then to a calmer, deep darker shade. Above, the stars reign, shinning out from their deep black velvet blanket of sky, silently watching over all.

The light illuminates the clouds thousands of feet below,  from a distance it looks like the surface of a frozen ocean of cotton wool, still, completely quite and peaceful.  

The glow burns brighter still, yellow and orange appear and the stars are folded back into their dark blanket, now hidden from view. The clam pale blue spreads higher into the sky and we continue East, across the Australian desert at 37,000 feet. Day break is upon us and the sun rears its shining face, illuminating all, from it nothing and nobody can hide. 

Day light has reached the Australian rim of the Pacific Ocean. A new day full of opportunities and infinite possibilities. Infinity awaits...
