See the bright sky image here, but of course it didn't stop just there - the colour continued for a little while longer as we watched the morning sky change.
Here an arc of colourful clouds, pinky-orange from the risen sun's light filtered through Earth's atmosphere.
In this scene, the Samuel Beckett Bridge that I have written about several times here on Panoramic Ireland, I'm sure you've seen the posts by now; on the right is the Convention Centre in Dublin with its by now famous hoops of coloured lights that reflect in the calm waters of the River Liffey - along with those cloud reflections.
