Stalking the Sunrise

When I go out at 5 a.m. I find myself getting (irrationally?) angry at the sunrise. My favorite times of the day are before the sun rises and after the sun sleeps.

Ordinary Haunting Day 052 was one of these mornings.

Until I saw the sunrise.

While determining the morning photography was over, I saw a break in the clouds.. but could find nowhere to pull over before the planet shifted and the shot was gone.

I chased it for fifteen minutes before I realized it was futile, and I decided it was time to give up.

Then I saw it again at a stoplight on the way home.

And another.

But still, nowhere to pull over before losing the shot I was after.

Until there was a place to stop.

(Incoming cloud and sunrise barrage. Sorry, not sorry.)

I stood beside this field for 20 minutes, watching the clouds change.
