What is it about the sun that twice a day draws out photographers?  I know, it's the beauty of each individual sunset or sunrise.  Each is unique.  Almost every one of them is pretty, but some are just breath-taking in their grandeur - the horizon filled with pinks, blues, reds, yellows, all in an ever changing kaleidoscope of sky presented free of charge by the sun twice a day.

So, this morning I'm out early walking, just before sun up, taking along my camera named American Express (never leave home without it), when I am blessed with an especially spectacular sunrise.   Of course I take a more than a few pictures, moving along, looking for the right position to take the next shot before the sky changes again in a matter of seconds.

Back home I upload my images and take a first peek at this mornings results.  Nice.  Perhaps too nice.

The problem with sunset and rises is that they are such an "easy" target. Everyone shoots them - for the same reasons I do - they're beautiful. I look over my portfolio and I see a preponderance of them - Sunrise/set sensory overload.

Maybe I should start sleeping in more in the mornings.

Nah!

ps, I uploaded some new photos this morning, (no sunrises though.)
