It’s early. You were out late last night trying a new restaurant or going out to a new bar with some locals you met and the last thing you want to do is wake up early.
For me, watching the sunrise is one of the most peaceful times of day. I don’t do it often, but when I travel through beautiful places I would be missing out if I didn’t make myself wake up at least one morning to watch the sunrise.
The quietness clears your mind, the beautiful colors playing with the clouds inspires your soul. Beyond this, what I love most about waking up to watch the sunrise is I’ve never seen two of the same.
These 13 photos that are reason enough for me to wake up for the sunrise!
If you are still tired after the sunrise, you have a few hours to go back to bed…but my guess is you will feel inspired and ready to take on the day!
Where have you seen your most memorable sunrise?
Those are all gorgeous!
I would never intentionally wake up for the sunrise. But there are times when I’ve lived in Japan that I’ve naturally awoken and seen the sunrise at some ridiculously early hour. It is a marvelous sight.
This may sound too weird, but sunrise for me is a perfect time to re-focus projects and goals in life. I feel such a connection to the world and my dreams and any negative thoughts I was having about failure are washed away by the light. I know, it sounds hokey, but it’s true for me at least. Great photos!
I just discovered your blog. And wauw, gorgeous pictures!!!
I love sunrises, almost even more than sunsets. That time of the day it is still nice and quiet, everything is relaxed, the world around you is waking up. I saw my best sunrises in Mozambique. They were just awesome and so beautiful to start your day.
I found your post when looking up quotes about sunrise. I have responded with a blog of my own in which I use to inspire my colleagues – flight attendants.
Thank you for your gorgeous photos and I hope you enjoy reading, or viewing my sunrises. 🙂
