This morning dazzled us with its sunbeams; if only for a few minutes.

The golden sun rising over the distant horizon broke through the grey and white clouds.

The city buildings of Marseille have yet to come out of the darkness.

Early morning ripples on the water.

A solitary bird looks out over the city of Marseille. Early morning and all is well.

Clear skies, apart from a solitary cloud.

Starin' slowly 'cross the sky
Said goodbye…”

Another ‘tequila sunrise’ over the city of Marseille.

In the foreground the city lights indicate that human life is stirring.

The distant horizon is silhouetted against the orange coloured sky.
