By now, I suspect that everyone is tired of sunset photographs. So today I am going to cheat a bit and post an image of a sunrise on November 6, 2021 over Pigeon Cove in Rockport, MA taken with my big telephoto. The solar disk breaks through the clouds and trees. Indeed, I find it very intriguing to guess just where the sun will come up and am ever delighted to watch the first impression of the disk breaking through the trees lining the shore.

I have come to believe that to live by the sun, to watch its rising and settings, to gaze on the planets and mentally trace the great ecliptic arc in your mind’s eye is to live as we were meant to live.

“Sun worship is fairly simple. There’s no mystery, no miracles, no pageantry, no one asks for money, there are no songs to learn, and we don’t have a special building where we all gather once a week to compare clothing.”
