Journal johndiii's Journal: Sunrise 5

Journal by johndiii
I got up fairly early this morning to work out. OK, 7am is only moderately early, but it's a Sunday. :-)

As I walked out of the breezeway where my apartment is located, I was greeted byt the most glorious sunrise that I have seen in quite some time. Perhaps ever. Salmon-pink clouds with golden edges, gold light streaming from the east, behind the trees.

I just stood and stared for several minutes, I think. What a way to start the day. Unfortunately, I did not have the presence of mind to walk back inside for my camera. On the positive side, it is captured in my mind's eye. :-)

  • it's arguable that you might not have experienced it as symbolically as you did.

    hang in there.
  • When I was in the Navy, I had the occasion to see a sunrise that could not be matched easily. We were out to sea, miles from the nearest humans that weren't on the ship. "Wow" just cannot do the vision justice.

    I tried to capture this on film, but the image I caught really could not do the original any justice. Perhaps it's because I am (at best) an amateur photographer. <shrug>

    You've seen it. Treasure the image in your mind's eye.
    • Biggest problem is usually reference, especially with sunrise over sea shots.
      Happens a lot in the Bahamas (where I've been a couple of times) and at this point, unless the clouds are lit up, I usually just let them go and capture them mentally.

      Enjoy the moment. The camera reminds, but cannot take you there.

  • I was greeted by the most glorious sunrise that I have seen in quite some time.

    Behold the glory. There is no finer display of color than that found at sunrise and sunset.

    • Yes, indeed. Since I have taken to carrying my camera to work, I have seen several beautiful sunsets, and gotten some good photos. I see more sunrises, lately, on the way back from working out in the morning. This sunrise was really exceptional.
