Come with me... Come follow the sun!steemCreated with Sketch.

Heyyy, another week, another Thursday....
And it's #SunThursday by @uwelang once again!

Taking a leaf from the current haze (yes, it's still hazy here...) I got here some shots from a haze from bygone days... some years ago...

If I get lucky I get a filtered sun, like this
And I get to catch shots like these....

We all know the sun (and moon) looks great/better framed by leaves, trees, etc...
So, here, I went for the filtered sun along with a dull grey sky & clouds, 'dressed' with some trees on my horizon
Bear in mind, these are zoomed-in shots, as these trees are near my horizon, and not as near as it looks!
Oh yes... and that tower on the left, is the KL Tower in the city!

Ok, first shot.... sun coming down for a 'landing'/setting...
I'm aiming it to go between those trees...

See.... there it goes...
Tree leaves silhouetted against the sun
Like some Japanese scene or backdrop, from a kabuki stage!
Ohhh, and throughout this sequence, I will be shooting from a few of my home windows...
Hence, you may notice a slight shift in angles

A little closer...
A more moody scene as the clouds seem to roil and boil around the sun, hiding it partially

Shot from another window, placing the part-hidden sun between that break in the tree line

Then the sun disappears behind a growing dark cloud for awhile...
Reappears.... and I shot it!

And for the finale...
A zoom out shot of the entire scene
Storm brewing
Everything turns dark...
And we have that little sliver of light and sun
Caught between those trees, before it disappears behind that apartment block faraway...
Ohhh, and I do recommend clicking on these images and viewing them in full screen...
Think backdrop to a kabuki stage...

Anticipated a nice sunrise, but alas, I was busy on

Above the cloud layer; I'd missed my chance.
