Week 5: Sunrise

On Halloween, it rained. The following day, Saturday, November 1, the sunrise was absolutely stunning. I was driving to a super early physical therapy appointment, and my breath was taken away as I saw the sky. I was little grumpy on this morning, my body tired and achy, and upset with myself for scheduling such an early appointment for the day after Halloween. But as I was driving, I could hardly keep my eyes on the road. The confidence of the shadows and contrast that the rain clouds created was majestic. I felt small compared to the hugeness of the sky, but small in a refreshing way, almost as if I was given permission to be care and judgement free. The clouds appeared to be whispering a secret, hiding something from sight on one side (through the shadows), and revealing on the other (through the first rays of orange/pink sun that peeked through). With this, I was amazed at how powerful light can be, and how much they can have an effect on my feelings. In person, these clouds simply left me speechless. I had to photograph it, and share this amazing energy it gave me with other people (you all).
