The Rising with almost No Traffc

Just a note in passing. Sometimes your comments don't seem to officially publish from some reason, but I see them all. Yesterday, I saw five comments in my edit panel but only three actually posted publicly. So, please keep commenting. 😎😇

==================

My wrist began to vibrate at 4:40. The vibrations are effective and in my case even more than an audible alarm, considering my hearing handicap. Also, leaving the sound off doesn't awaken the Lady of the Manor although my subsequent meanderings sometimes do. Sometimes she hears me rumbling around although I try to be quiet. At other times I go forth and return without her noticing. She'll come into my den when I am back on the computer, perhaps processing photos, and ask, "Did you go out this morning?"

On this Saturday morning, just 3 days after my first effort to shoot the sunrise over Cavanagh Road, I was back again. Thankfully, traffic was much more sparse on a Saturday. I think it would even better on a Sunday, but who can know what the skies would be like then? They do say to strike while the iron is hot.

When I got to my spot, the sky looked good. I took a few pics from the shoulder as a couple of cars went by although very few did bother me on a Saturday morning. 

Car travelling away from camera  @ 5:19  – 13 minutes before sunrise.

Car coming toward me @ 5:17 – 15 minutes before sunrise.

I went onto the road.

5:20 – still 12 minutes before sunrise

5:22 – 10 minutes to go

 

The sun is now up but mostly still behind the trees.

5:33 – it's up but we just see the glow behind the trees

5:35 -- now beginning to peek over the trees
It is quickly moving west (right in the photo) away from the centre of the road.

The sun is rising very and also moving west very quickly.

5:38:30 – We see almost half of the sun.

5:39:40 – Almost 8 minutes after rising, we almost see it all.
Moderately disappointingly to me, it is completely off the road,
but ya gotta love the reflected light on the pavement.

Although I had hoped for a cloudless sky, I saw the sun well enough, and I think that the clouds actually made for much better photos. I don't think that I will be able to do any better at this time of year, Maybe to sun will centre better in another season.
