I know a professional coulda done a lot more with these, but during spring break recently we bookended one of our side trips with the most gorgeous west texas sunrise across an immensely wide horizon and a sunset dipping behind the davis mountains

Good morning...

Both are just as pretty as if they had been taken over Lake Michigan! :lol: Did you have bad weather on the day of that sunrise?

BTW - what were you doing up so early you could see the sun come up? I hate to have to get up in the dark just so's I can sneak up on a day.

Dave - "Pay no attention to the old man behind the screen." He heard a Canadian lynx that follows me around when I camp. It is a ventriloquist. It fooled Ron (Texas River rat) on the Brazos too. Highly skilled.

I enjoy early morning quiet too. I camp where it's still there about 08:00. I don't have to sneak up on it in the dark. And to keep it even quieter, I make my tea the night before during supper, and have it in a thermos.

Sunsets are just as pretty as sunrises, and come at a more convenient time of day.
