Sunrises — as well as sunsets — are some of the most spectacular displays which nature has to offer. They are typically full of color but yet quiet. They can be dramatic, subdued, or appear to resemble an artistic painting. Sometimes objects — such as trees, buildings, animals, people, or power lines as five of countless examples — become elements which are overall incorporated into the sunrise or sunset. Although they occur every day — sometimes completely obscured by clouds — the way they are presented is usually unknown until they unfold right before our eyes.
