Sunrises are limited time offers.

My ride in the other morning made me think about the sunrise I was watching.  I could probably have spent an hour photographing the event.  But I was on the bike heading for work and that prevented me from stopping.

I thought about it as I was pedalling that sunrises are limited time offers.  Much like a store with a limited time offer not all of them are outstanding.  But in my case the one I was watching was amazing.  It started with dark clouds to the west and clouds to the east.  The sun then lit the sky in a beautiful pink and rose colour.  As I rode along the path I was stealing glances.  The dark clouds to the west remained.  The pink slowly gave way to a brighter red, that made the clouds appear like they were on fire.  Slowly this progressed to an orange colour.  Just amazing sights at this time as the dark clouds to the west were now under the spell of the sunrise and they to gave off the pink colour.

Wow! amazing stuff, I was riding and trying to not run into something or go off the trail.  It is one of the joys of being up at that time and being out on the bike path.  Slowly this sunrise like the limited time offer became the sun light of the day.  The clouds were no longer colourful or on fire.  I was saddened at how quickly it left.

But like any limited time offer it expires.  Until the next time.

May your sunrise give you the best limited time offer.

cheers
