A sunrise can be cool, except for the whole waking up early thing.  Most people would prefer the sunset, but there is something magical about the quiet and private of the early morning.  If you haven’t been able to catch one for a while, don’t worry!  That’s what cameras were made for. Here are some of my favorites.
