Due to the Sun's orbit around the Earth, much of the year I cannot see the sunrise. Spring and Summer for example, sunrise is obscured to me by the hills to my left (and conversely the setting Sun is obscured by the hills to my right). But come the Autumn the Sun's orbit carries it into view, and it marches progressively closer to my front, morning-by-morning, as Winter approaches.
On January 28 I was sitting with a cup of coffee and glanced up to see what you see here. (Well,...not exactly what you see here; I made this image with the long end of a 270mm telephoto.) Not 10 minutes earlier the sky had been clear--albeit of a wonderful marmaladian tone--but for a wispy haar floating languorously over the sea.
The mountains behind which the Sun is rising here are the Northern Cascades.
