January Sunrises
/
I used the Sun Alarm app on my phone to remind me a bit before sunrise each day this month. My plan was to photograph sunrises. It worked great on the 1st. There were a few clouds to reflect the color near the beginning of the sunrise then they thickened, and the rest of the sunrise blinked out.
There were a lot of very cloudy days with no color. On the 3rd, it was cloudy, but the clouds had an interesting texture so a took a picture anyway.
The 7th was probably the best overall sunrise of the month. The clouds and color were good for the whole sunrise
And the sun on the trees to the west of our house was rosy too.
On the 9th, the clouds appeared to be too thick in the east for any sunrise color but a little after sunrise there was a break in the clouds and the color was very red on trees behind (to the west) of our house. The tulip poplar pods looked surreal!
There were some scattered clouds on the 10th that preceded a sunny morning.
The sunrise on the 14th and 17th were so cloudy the color could barely be seen.
Overall – I am planning to keep the Sun Alarm going in February…and recording the best sunrises of the month.
