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.
This is amazing! I love it

I love beautiful, serene sunrises like this.
As the sun begins to rise it tints the sky with an alluring orange-gold.
Great Animation!
I'm glad that Mrs Google had recommended it haha

It's dark where I'm writing this from so even though people can get jaded over the global nature of things at times, it still brought a smile to my face to watch a gorgeous sunrise while I sit in the dark. Beautiful post @ kiligirl.

As a fellow Jo'burger, I often find myself dragged down by the grind of work and traffic. It's worth remembering sometimes that Jozi isn't all bad, as your post reminded me :)

Thank you, @jakeh...we have such a surprising wealth of bird life here I'm sometimes overwhelmed (one of my childhood must-sees was a hoepoe - now they hang around my neighbourhood and I never want to be jaded about our natural heritage here).
I could hear the traffic on the N1 in the distance, but as you can guess the hadedas drowned out that noise!

I can't believe your are there from the cold north as you and I remember. What an adventure!
I was north of Toronto and all over The West for too many years. I haven't been back in decades and always seek the heat where I land - Bangkok now.
So glad to see a fellow tsuser who seems to have this place figured out. I will be learning from you :) I'm not sure if we met at tsu, but I am Sharon from fitinfun and so glad to see you here.

Hi Sharon, nice to meet you here on Steemit. Don't think we met at tsu, mostly because I don't know what that is! Always something new to learn about on this platform.

lol - You were commenting on a post with a bunch of us, and I was was chasing after all. It was a short-lived platform with a lot of great people like here and when it disappeared we all lost touch for the most part. Now many have gravitated here so it is a sweet reunion.
Browsing Steemit today, I have seen all kinds of African posts seeking for you all to connect and get together online or in person. This is so great. What a game changer.
When we moving once when I was a kid, my dad made the mistake of asking me where I wanted to go and I said Africa. Needless to say, another city suburb was not what I was looking for. Years of disappointment have followed and I still hope to make it one day.

We're having fun putting together this South African group - maybe there's a Thai one brewing in your neighbourhood?
And indeed, Africa is not be missed. A must visit :-)
