I happened to look up and spotted this view; the rest is history! I could not believe my luck.

But, since it was my idea and I have this shot for all time, had to submit it. I have waited for this to be the theme for a long time and nobody else offered it, so...

Thanks, Grumpy Old Guy for deciding on it and California Peggy for hosting!

but I remembered this shot taken from my downtown high rise apartment some years ago. Turns out--when I went looking for the shot in my archives--that it was taken TWO DAYS before I moved out of the apartment! And the day I moved out? January 6, 2021. While the world was watching the insurrection at the Capitol Building in DC, I was telling movers where to put furniture in my new house.
Although I saw a lot of beautiful sunrises from my high rise apartment building while I lived there, I had never seen anything resembling the mysterious and other-worldly qualities of this scene.

My sweetie HRH Lizzie loves yogurt. So after I polish off a cup of it, I let her lick out the container. Invariably she gets some on her little snout. I just happened to have my phone handy and caught her licking her chops! Quelle chance, as they say in France.
