My new Panasonic FZ28 camera's first sunrise was a beaut
I took a bunch of pictures this morning and chose this one to mess with, pumping it up more than a little.

Concentrated Space Intensifies Everything
A small, concentrated domestic space intensifies everything. It’s like the fire we live around—move it close together and the flame flares up, spread it apart and the fire goes out. We have always lived in small houses, but this one is the smallest and the best. Here I feel all my loose and wandering thoughts are gathered up and made whole. It is an antidote to a world of distractions. It is a world unto itself. It is almost more myself than I am.’
