An infrared satellite loop, shortly before dawn, showed a deck of high clouds overhead, thinning eastward. This cloud setup is one of a handful that I most like to see for a nice sunrise, and loudly proclaimed the command: “Get yourself and camera up to the roof!” Though the best coloration was short-lived, it was memorable and well-textured, thanks to alternating bands of wavy and smeared cirrus. No two sunrises or sunsets ever can duplicate one another, rendering each not only a unique photo opportunity, but more importantly, a life experience unto itself. This was another among many such visual blessings.
