This is little paperback, it measures eight inches square and is about a quarter of an thick (23cm x 23cm x 0.6cm), contains a collection of photographs, and apart from the concluding two pages containing a list of the images and their source, nothing else; no supporting text or explanation - but then none is necessary.

These are not pictures of glowing skies as the sun rises over some distant landscape. No, each photograph represents a sunrise as found in every day objects with which we are probably familiar if not necessarily aware. The sunrise as depicted here is to be found in the design of a garden gate, a company logo, the gable of a house, a perfume bottle or a tea cosy to mention just a few. The images are presented one to a page in splendid isolation on the abundant white surface.

This is a delightful little publication, beautifully if unassumingly presented, which may perhaps wake many up to the fact that we walk around unseeing, but if nothing else it is great fun to browse through.
