As you already know from our previous post, we climbed Mount Sinai to watch the sunrise on 1st January 2009. When we reached the summit, we set up our video camera pointing at where we thought the sun would appear...and waited.
We filmed for an hour, and this movie is that hour - but sped-up so that it only lasts for three and a half minutes. As a result, the whole thing takes an other-worldly appearance. It may seem pointless to watch the full video but I realise encourage you to do so. The way the colours change as the sun gets nearer to the horizon, and the swirling of the clouds, is something else. We also found a beautiful track to accompany it (Waiting by Pacific UV) and the song swells as the sun appears above the cloud.
Apologies for the occasional focussing issue: obvious the lighting conditions on the top were a bit funny, so the camera struggled a bit at first. Hopefully it doesn't detract from how brilliantly the rest of this has come out.
