Sunrise: Wait Five Minutes

Continuing to jet lag, wide awake for the first call to prayer. Suddenly, there are more calls to prayer in my neighborhood. I don’t see any additional mosques, but maybe they are upping the volume on the calls to prayer. It isn’t loud, it is only that I used to only hear one, and now I can hear several. Maybe an atmospheric thing. Maybe I am not often awake at that time of the morning!

This is what the real sunrise looked like, barely able to break through the clouds:

But an hour later, as I am finishing up my e-mails, everything changes (don’t you just love clouds? They change everything!):

Just when I think it is all together, ready for a post, it changes again:

When I saw this photo, I though I had photographed through a dirty spot on the window, but no, it is the shadow of clouds from sky down across the water.

Wait five minutes and a totally new photo appears. What a great day!

It’s 90°F/ 32°C at 0600, heading for a high today of 109°F / 43°C. :-(

  2. I thought you’d like the silvery one in the middle – it just kept changing, it was like a day with a thousand sunrises. Now it is all white, variations of colorlessness, bleached by the midafternoon sun.
