This was the view at dawn this morning. Lightly falling snow obscured the view of the city skyline. It was a very peaceful scene to behold.
Whenever I post a photo like this on a cloudy morning, there are always a few people who unfollow me, especially on Instagram (@capturethesunrise). Those people don’t understand the point of what this is all about. This is about waking up early and taking a picture of the sunrise every day, no matter what. I’m doing this more for myself than for anyone else. If somebody doesn’t want to come along with me on this journey, that’s ok with me. I understand it’s not for everyone. But for those of you who are sticking with me, thank you.
One might be tempted to say that some sunrises are better than others. But when you stop to think about it, is any one really better than another? By whose standards? In reality, they are all just different, each unique in its own way. Some cover a wider spectrum of colors, while others might have colors all within a narrow range, while others might not allow you to see the sun at all, even though you know it’s there. Any day you wake up alive and the sun rises to bring its light to the world is a great day indeed.
