The Rise and Fall of the Winter Sun

A few sunrises and sunsets from last winter.. last home.. last life.

Sunrises

Male or female, if my name were either Don or Dawn, I'd be up at sunrise to celebrate the glory that is me.

The morning of February 11, 2015

Morning is wonderful. Its only drawback is that it comes at such an inconvenient time of day.

~ Glen Cook

January 29th's sunrise.

The sun got confused about daylight savings time. It rose twice. Everything had two shadows.

February 11th through my bedroom deck.

Four AM - if I'm ever up that early, it's because I'm up that late.

~ Jarod Kintz

Same day - different window. And considerably later than 4 a.m.

The sun never sets on the British Empire. But it rises every morning. The sky must get awfully crowded.

January 26th also pitched in with some pretty colours.

Sunsets

I need to call it a night. But only because I don't know what else to call it. What's in between evening and morning?

~ Jarod Kintz

A lovely end to Groundhog Day, February 2, 2115.

If a university's colors were blue and pink, they could be the Fighting Sunsets.

January 27th - dusk over the frozen lake.

As the evening sky faded from a salmon color to a sort of flint gray, I thought back to the salmon I caught that morning, and how gray he was, and how I named him Flint. ~ Jack Handy

This is how it looked over the bay on Valentine's Day.

Speeding along I-10 last summer, heading west, I chased the sunset, thinking if I kept up I could extend my day indefinitely, or at least until I hit a major body of water. ~ Jarod Kintz

Facing west, outside the kitchen window and over the hills. Also February 14th.

Is there anything more beautiful than a beautiful, beautiful flamingo, flying across in front of a beautiful sunset? And he's carrying a beautiful rose in his beak, and also he's carrying a very beautiful painting with his feet. And also, you're drunk.
