After days of rain and gray skies, Mother Nature treated us to this incredible sunrise. I took the photo from right outside my shop on the River Walk. The yellowish lights on the left (you may have to click to enlarge it) are the lights of the Maritime Museum. The white lights to the right are headlights on Marine Drive. The orange spot in front is reflected sky in a rain puddle. We usually get some stunning skies in January and February, and I was beginning to wonder if they'd happen at all this year.

I received e-mail about yesterday's post from Karen Schultz, who grew up in that neighborhood. I thought the amusing story and the history would be a wonderful addition to this blog so, with her permission, I've added it to the text. Go ahead and check it out! I'll have more stories from Karen in upcoming editions. I was going to post one today, but the sun rose and I coudn't resist today's colorful image.

A new dawn for a new year

Happy New Year, Everyone!

This was going to be my post for January 1, until I remembered to participate in Theme Day yesterday. . . .
Although the sunrise is from November 24, 2005, the wishes are always current. May we have colors, brightness, hope, and love going into 2010. I remember the way I felt on the morning I took this photo from a window on Harrison Street. I wish those feelings for all of us today and throughout the coming year.

Shapes of steel and wood

Bridge. Orange sky. Glowing lamp. Car windows. Inky black waterfront. What else is there to say?
