February 06, 2005SunrisesYesterday, I got up early to walk the dog. With shul starting at 8:45, although I'm Denver's in a peculiar place, and frequently has morning cloud-cover when the surrounding area is clear, and vice-versa. Yesterday, I could just make out some clear sky over Kansas. And wouldn't you know it, the sun managed to thread the needle just right for about 15 minutes. With the mountains to the west, all the viewplanes are directed that way, so you pretty much have to find a hill or a 6th-floor apartment or the far side of a lake to get a good sunrise view, but still. Blazing orange, and then ripples of purple and pink all the way west. Still a grey background, but there were enough little tendrils reaching down to catch some sun, too. As I've said before: you always hear about the sunsets, nobody ever advertises the sunrises. Posted by joshuasharf at February 6, 2005 12:59 PM | TrackBack |
