What’s broken can be mended.
What hurts can be healed.
And no matter how dark it gets,
The sun is going to rise again.
Well, back to another sunrise. Took this image yesterday but this one is a bit different. I arrived at predawn when the sky was pink and took a few images of those colors. It was 18 degrees and a slight breeze from the northwest. What is different about this image is the young lady located in the lower left corner of the image. She is sitting on a small bench at the trailhead, wrapped in a blanket and sipping on a thermos of hot coffee or maybe tea. I was there about 45 minutes and she was there when I arrived, sitting on that bench the whole time. We watched this lovely sunrise as well as seeing a couple coyotes walk across the frozen reservoir in search of food. We did not talk. Not sure the reason she needed to be there but for me nature is a place to go when I need to find healing, answers, peace, serenity, silence, a boost, even a good cry and most often the need to slow down the chatter of my thinking. It had warmed up to 19 degrees by the time she left. I departed soon after. We’re expecting light snow today so right now it is overcast and windy. Happy Friday!

Yes, the sun is quite dependable and sometimes that certainty is just what we need.
This is a very nice scene, Monte. The person makes for a balancing counterpoint against the sun. But sitting in shadow and barely lit by the rising sun, she is almost not visible.

What I like is the glow on the front of her facing the sun. She is absorbing all she can.
