I spent much of the twilight rising contemplating sunrises, seeing as how I was awake for my second one in Texas this morning.
The sunrise in Austin is slow and launguid, creeping over the horizon and the haze with a slow like honey fervor. There was a vast expanse of the city laid out before me, giving itself up to the inescapable light.
New Mexico was spectacularly backlit, desert blues and purples rising out of the twilight. I took at least five pictures that will never come close to justifying it. Wendy and I, driving in awe, awakening with the lightening of the clouds painted on the sky.
San Diego beach sunrise... fog, wind, eerie all around glow over a feathering grey ocean. I wanted to kiss someone the day I saw that one, for fear of not being able to translate what I saw into a more accesible memory.
Florida sunrises were peeking over the lake on my grandmother's property at six AM, spilling over through the french doors of our sun room, reminding me that it might just be time to get off the computer and go to bed.
And a Virginia sunrise... this is the most interesting part. I can't remember anymore what it is to sit in a forest and watch the greens go from hunter to ivy, the ground go from bleak and blank to textured browns and dappled countenance.
But soon enough, I will. :)
