Daybreak


Times given by various websites for sunrise and sunset do not agree although the variance is only a minute or two. Still one would expect more accuracy and certainty when it is calculated using the exact grid reference. It sets you thinking. Do they mean the first appearance of the sun above the horizon or the time when the whole sun is visible? Differences in height of land in the view can be significant. This morning from Blacka Hill we were treated to a sunrise first visible at 7:08. Each morning a kestrel is hunting with first light testimony to faith in supreme eyesight.
