We’ve had Sunset, and so it’s time for Sunrise. This one was in Key Biscayne, Florida, this past Sunday.
And a bonus…
More photos are here.

Vladimir – I love Key Biscayne! A long time ago I spent some time there with some friends, just before I left for basic training, and we went night fishing. We wore waders and walked out into the water with a light mounted on an inner-tube. We sailed, shot pool, grilled fish and drank beer. It is one of my most fond early adult memories.

I love the last photo! Talk about so ugly it’s cute…what kind of lizard(?) is it?

Yes, lizard, but I don’t know what kind. Some people there were calling them iguanas, but I don’t think this one is an iguana, exactly…

Yes, that sunrise was a pretty one. It was the very last day of our stay—we didn’t manage to get up in time to see the sunrise on any of the previous days…

We certainly did!
What I meant was that in northern latitudes there’s often an overcast, especially in winter—the sun doesn’t even appear on many days. But in the tropics there’s always something violent and colorful going on…

same thing happens in deserts too. They produce beautiful sunrises and sunsets.

Yes—it’s the low angle of the sun at sunrise and sunset, so that the light has a long path through the atmosphere. But I like lots of scattered clouds to be about too to reflect the light in various ways, as in this Key Biscayne sunrise :-)

I grew up in Florida and sincerely miss the sunsets (and the afternoon thunderstorms). But there’s another place I think has better sunrises and sunsets. Have you ever been to Alaska to photograph those? Amazing! I go in the summer to fish the salmon runs and I take more pictures of sunrises and sunsets than of anything else. They’re just so darned gorgeous!

Haven’t been to Alaska, yet! :-)
I hear that the Arctic and Antarctic regions exhibit very beautiful, melting colors—not harsh at all, as one might at first expect…
