Wonderful pics.

Pie, you and BigV are really making me crave a trip out west. Drool.

Pie · 09-21-2007, 09:27 AM

Kitsune, take me with you if you go!

I've learned there's no dawn in Chicago. Betting there's no dawn in other metropolitan areas as well.

Wrong. See post #12. Beauty is everywhere, for those with eyes to see. These eyes were traveling to work; during my daily in-city commute.

You may have missed this pretty sunrise too. But you *have* to get your butt out of bed. Dawn's out there--where are you?

Kitsune · 09-21-2007, 12:46 PM

Dawn in downtown Atlanta was my absolute favorite time, there. The slow, retreating shadows would generate cool spots in the summer that would create breezes along the streets between the buildings. In many places, it was the only time there was quiet. In the winter, it was always really incredible to wake up early and watch the fog lift and reveal the skyline over the course of two hours or so.

On the opposite side, nothing beats dawn at camp. On the second day of my June roadtrip in the north GA mountains, I awoke just after the sun was up to a strange sound. Crawling out of my sleeping bag in the hopes that the rushing sound was a camp stove getting coffee ready, I looked up to find it was a gas burner overhead!

I recognize that this is cheating. These are sunset shots from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

glatt · 09-21-2007, 01:29 PM

How's that cheating? The bird one is very nice.

And Kitsune, I like the balloon one.

Here's a sunset from that same MT David in Maine.

Pie · 09-21-2007, 03:36 PM

Sunset from Mt. Battie, Maine.

theotherguy · 09-21-2007, 03:45 PM

I don't get up early enough for sunrises, but they sure are pretty.

Just that the original subject was "Dawn," and I was posting "sunset." Sunsets tend to be more colorful (but I don't know why - maybe because there is more pollution generated during the day than at night). Also, it's easier to be awake at sunset than at sunrise.

Oh, and I really like the Mt. David sunset.

BigV · 09-21-2007, 04:11 PM

I *lurve* sunsets.

I have a couple faves already posted elsewhere... Here's the linky.

I'll try to repost here....

didn't work... crap.
