At 5:15am this morn, I was wide awake..

It was dawn already, the sky already a bouncing blue inspite of the fog cover and no sign of the sun.

One of the things Im not quite used to out here in the west, is having the sun rise in the east over the mountains. You cant see the sun, but the sun has obviously risen.

Eh.

First tho, it has to burn off the fog.

Then warm the maritime chill that seeps in off the North Pacific Ocean.

And then we get the famed California sunshine and azure skies...

Which is not so bad.

Until the sun disappears...
