Sunrise August 28 2017

This is the sunrise out my office window this morning. You know the drill, I wasn’t up to see it personally but my Raspberry Pi was.

The sun is moving into the southern sky as fall approaches. There is a very pronounced Coriolis effect going on in the clouds while the fog moves around this very dewey morning.

I was up early working with an arborist to try to figure out if we could save three ash trees that are being consumed by ash borer bugs brought in from China. I learned this morning that 90% of all of the ash trees in Virginia are dead or dying.

One of our trees is gone. His suggesting for the others is to enjoy them while they are around and plant something else in their spot.

I may not give in so easily.

  1. So beautiful! I look forward to seeing some November sunrises. Over the years, I have noticed that something about the sun’s position in the November sky creates some beautiful sunrises. Not only am I up to see them, but I try to time my walk so that I am facing the sunrise when that moment of really intense color happens before the sun is full in the sky. It will be cool to see that in your video 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
