TOPIC: Sunrise from my backporch...

Morning Guys...

I have posed a couple of sunrise pictures already but thought I would start a post and add to it as I collect a few more.

Once the leaves pop out the view of the sunrise from my back pourch will be mostly blocked.

Right now (late winter), it is every now and then just stunning.

What you have to have is a morning when there are some clouds in the eastern sky, but not solid cloud cover, just broken or spotty or striped type clouds. As the sun gets up close to the far hilltop, just before it peaks up or just after, the sun paints the bottom and edges of the clouds and WOW... Got to appreciate this creation that God blessed us with.

Here at my house in Middle TN, the time is right at 6:45 when the sun is just about to peak over the far hilltop. If you are on eastern time, suppose that would be 5:45 since you all are an hour ahead of us.

I started taking pictures on Jan 10 and have 5 decent ones to show at this point.

I have a collection of pictures (folder on my PC) that plays as my screen saver - basically when my screen saver comes on, it flips thru the pictures in that folder. The pics in that folder are mostly Ginseng Pics (big suprise right ?) but I have this collection of sunrise pictures in there too.

It was almost too cloudy that morning, but for a short period there was some intense deep purple red color in the coluds.

And below is what it looked like this morning...

Hope you enjoy these Tennessee (off my back porch) Sunrise pics. I have found this a decent pass time, while waiting on spring to arrive this year.

Tn,
Beautiful sunrise. There is nothing like mother nature to pick your spirits up and put you in awe of it all.
I've often thought of people living in big cities and what an artificial world that they actually live in. It would do some of these big ceo's and politicians some good to get out take in some fresh air and nature first hand and see what the real world is all about and not worry about the bottom line.

TN, awesome. I agree with Rootman 100%
Keep those beautiful pics coming TN. I feel very fortunate to be a part of this forum. Don't know you fellas personally but we all appreciate mother nature so much.

I thought I'd add one to this collection started by TN Hunter. this is one taken at dawn , at the beach in NC during Thanksgiving weekend.

And another, same area of beach, just a few minutes different in time, however is a panorama.

Here is one of the sun setting, behind a tree that me and my Daddy planted almost twenty years ago.
