The Sunrises of January

Since January is now over, I would like to compare the sunrises day by day as they happened this month. Even though the month is not full, the sunrises were still really diverse and became very interesting as the days progressed so differently. The pictures go from left to right, starting with Day 1. 

 

Day 10: January 31, 2013

The sunrise today is one of my favorites. The colors are really vibrant and distinct and it was really nice to watch it form into this. Its really nice how the colors fade as they move farther away from the sun, but still continue to hold some form of color. I hope there will be more sunrises like this!

Day 9: January 30, 2013

This sunrise is a big change from what I have been seeing the last two days. The sun is bright and gives a nice blue touch to the new day. There are a few clouds quite low in the sky, but the sun found a way to reappear brightly once again.

Day 8: January 29, 2013

The skies are still dark, but at least they let a bit of the sun shine through. I actually like this sunrise because even though it is not that vibrant, you can still see the subtle glow of the sun on the clouds, water, and on the building. This one was not a real jaw-dropper, but at least there was more light than yesterday!

Day 7: January 28, 2013

The sunrise  today was really not a sunrise at all. We have been having "flash flooding". Well really all I've seen are just some cloudy and dark skies like this. Even though this is not a beautiful sunrise like there have been on other days, I thought I would include it. It is good to have for two reasons. One, just because we do not see the sunrise from where we are, we can still be reassured that it rose somewhere else. And two, we shouldn't take for granted a great sunrise everyday because it will not always be so.

Day 6: January 27, 2013

Since it is the weekend and I have been waking up a little later, I have been taking these pictures a little later, too. The sunrise today looked very similar to yesterday, with a few clouds added in. It seems like the sun radiated out in a circle and pushed all the clouds out of the way. The blue and yellow designs worked quite nicely together to create an almost perfect sunrise.

Day 5: January 26, 2013

The clear morning sky made way for a beautiful sunrise. The orange glow across the water reflected to help make a bright glow throughout the entire sky. Behind the building on the far right is the sun, which made it quite hard to take this photo without looking directly at it. But nevertheless, it makes a great addition to this blog!
