I’ve written about sunrises before. This is a recent thing for me, as I’ve come to enjoy watching day break over the landscape. Each sunrise is its own, unique event. And each one has meaning. For me, it is a chance to connect with the clockwork and predictability of our universe, in our often chaotic and unpredictable lives. Knowing the sun will be there, and knowing that the dark of night will be chased away is a primal comfort to us. A daily celebration of rebirth and renewal. A gift every day of the year.
Photographing a sunrise is an amazing experience. The world is quiet and still. Wildlife is absent at first, then comes to life as the sun’s rays fall upon the trees and land. There is space to breathe; to watch and listen; to quiet the mind; to connect with something bigger than us.
Take time to disconnect and experience a sunrise.
