Right On Time

Another beautiful sunrise on the mountain this morning.  It was cool enough (and windy enough) that I had to put on my rain jacket.  (I've already put my hoodie up for the summer.)  I suspect it will be one of the last cool mornings we'll see until Fall. 

You'll be happy to know, the Sun was right on time this morning.  At 5:39. (My weather ap disagrees with my web page but never mind.) We're a month away from the solstice when it will rise at 5:32 (in my location) for 10 days in a row.  (Think about it.  From 5:32:00 to 5:32:59.)  It will also appear to stand still for 11 days — rising on 060º.  (Overlapping but different days.)  I wish I had the brains to understand orbital mechanics but I guess I'll just have to stick to shooting pictures. 

From the overlook at Monte Sano State Park in Huntsville, Alabama.
