sunrise, sunset

Today’s sunrise is one of those dark orange ones. One with a blue-black sky. I tried to take pictures of its glow in the surrounding buildings, but the camera seems asleep. The is actually still too weak, so that the exposure times scream for a tripod. I am not awake enough to set one up now.
I am fascinated by the same thought every time I see a spectacular sunrise or sunset. These events take place simultaneously on this planet 24 hours a day. The sun will rise in California in three hours, and my friends and family in Europe are now six hours into the day, while somewhere else, on the other side of the globe, there is definitely a spectacular sunset somewhere. And there might be somebody writing into their blog that they would like to take a picture, but the , the is so weak and they are too tired to setup a tripod. Good morning, good night, have a great, great day.
