A continuation of the journey that began on January 1, 2010, recorded in "a year of getting up to meet the day." After 365 consecutive sunrise outings in that year, I couldn't bear to give up the dawn. This blog (no longer daily) will be informed and inspired by the rising light of the morning sun.

IN ADDITION TO PUBLISHING MY OWN POSTS, I INVITE READERS TO SEND SUNRISE PHOTOS AND REFLECTIONS FROM AROUND THE GLOBE.

Missouri's Meramec river - summer sunrise



Sometimes, January seems to give people the blues.  Post-holiday let-downs, housebound by weather, spring still too far to lend promise.  The days may be getting longer, but not by much. 

I think this is a good time to have received a contribution of a beautiful summer sunrise. 

James from Missouri said this:

"This one was taken from our breezeway overlooking the Meramec river valley, about 25 miles southwest of St. Louis. It’s our favorite of many we’ve taken."

Thanks, James.  We needed that.

    Glad you liked it. You can see more of that view (in a similar photo) here.

    Or here's a webcam view. The cam's CCD is getting a little burned from years of sun exposure, unfortunately.

    Or use this Google Maps view.
