There’s nothing more stunning or humbling than a sunrise. It’s the beginning of something new, the soft pinks and blues that herald a new day. There’s such promise in a beginning, don’t you think? We’ve found a solid bit of beautiful photography from our local sunrises in Nashville, and they’re a sight to see. Take a look!

  1. Hello, you royal purple sky!

  1. A bit of nice light on the pedestrian bridge.

Michael Hicks - Flickr A bit deeper into the morning, but just as lovely nevertheless.

  1. Aaaaand away from the city for a moment…

  1. This is the Nashville we know!

Michael Hicks - Flickr The traffic and light from our commute - we see you.

  1. Whoa.

Michael Hicks - Flickr We have no words.

  1. This looks like some kind of magic…
