Autumn Sunrise
I try to catch the sunrise at this location every morning on my commute. At this spot, the trail points nearly due east, so in the summer the Sun rises to the left of the trail, and in the winter it rises to the right. On the morning of the equinox the Sun was almost perfectly centered on the trail. The further we get from the equinox, the further from the trail the Sun rises. It’s a pleasant reminder of the passage of time and the change of seasons.

Great photo Alan. What part of the country to you live in again? Out here in Seattle it’s been a wet past few days of commuting as an intro to fall!
Thanks, Quinn. We’re in Northern California near Sacramento. I lived in Seattle for 10 years, so I know what it’s like to commute in the rain! Stay dry… ;-)
That shot is straight up Bike Porn…..
Path-henge?
As long as no one dances around naked on the solstice…
Nice, very nice.
Btw., today was the first morning here at west coast of Finland when the temperature was below 0°C, it was -2.9°C (26.78°F).
