Description Another sunrise shot. The best thing about insomnia is that you catch things like this; it's very calming to see the world before everyone else wakes up.

Thank you so much....this particular sunrise was really pretty, colorful. For some reason, we get some nice ones in fall and winter!

Oooooh! Lovely.
I always see the best sunrises while I'm on my way to work, on my days off...clouds and rain.

Thank you. We get some really good ones, and I'm always thankful when I'm awake at 6:30 AM! Been getting up at 7 AM lately, and it's way too late for sunrise.

Thank you, Anita. I'm surprised at how many really nice sunrises we get here...they're better than the sunsets, even. Problem is, you have to be up and at 'em early or you miss the whole show. When I get up at 7 AM, it's way too late! That's why insomnia comes in handy some nights!

Must have rained all day huh? Red sky at night, sailor's delight. Red sky in the morning, sailors warning Well as much as I would love to capture a sunrise just seeing it with my own two eyes, I don't envy your insomnia. Lovely capture Jean!

Thank you, Lori. We have had lots of rainy days lately. Sometimes the sunrise is spectacular, but often, it's just gray clouds. The insomnia drives me nuts, though.

Would you believe it went up to 70 again today? It just seems like we've had several really warm days interspersed by frigid ones. I've never seen any weather like this before. Nuts!

Thank you! Where's home...somewhere in Virginia? We have some really nice sunrises, but one has to be up at the crack of dawn to not miss them. They only last a few minutes! I'm glad you like this...it blew me away!

Thank you, Sandra. I love sunrises so much. I love going outside when no one (not even the early commuters) are out yet. I love the silence and cool air, the purity of the sky. It's a wonderful time to be awake. I need more sleep than I get, but if I have to be awake, I'll use the time for something useful and fun.

Thank you, Corina. We often get pretty sunrises, but I'm not aways up to see them. If I get insomnia, though, I'll usually catch a few minutes of beauty!
