Wow! This is wonderful! I love seeing the dawn!
Excellent.
What a gorgeous screen saver this photo would make.
Very nice. It's great to be up before dawn and to see the orange glow of the sun as it begins to rise. Sadly I do this infrequently, but it's so tranquil at that time of the day.
Beautiful, "roseate rays" !!!!!!!
Very descriptive. Excellent poetry.
