Jozi - truly the City of Gold

Just a Monday morning sunrise to start your day off gold:

As you can see from the lack of consistent positioning, my animation wasn't premeditated - I was simply entranced by this morning's sunrise, then Mrs Google suggested I animate the photos and I took her advice. Voilà! Besides that, my hands were cold!

But ah, the Johannesburg sunrise. Over the distant sounds of traffic on the highway off to the south, there was all manner of other much more interesting traffic - pairs of Egyptian geese honking in flight, hadeda ibises parked on roofs barking out instructions to the world, flocks of Sacred Ibises in V-formation off to their day foraging grounds, doves chrrrrrrrring as they flew from rooftop to treetop, surely with some purpose....

Johannesburg (or Jozi, as denizens affectionately call the city) is often called the City of Gold because of the rich gold deposits found here. But for me, the winter sunrises are worth more than gold.
