Photo taken by me via iPhone while in Athens, Greece on January 6th, 2024.
Theme: sunrise/sunset.
What should have been an easy, restful morning instead started at 7:29am, just barely over 45 degrees Fahrenheit. Waking up this early has never been comfortable–fortunately the chill of early January was extinguished by mighty shades of orange, pink and purple that dominated the sky. The sun’s cast was overbearing but was unable to penetrate the artificial white glow of the dock lights that bounced off the boats’ shiny finish. The fight between this natural and man-made heat let the group and I know that although our wakeup was rough, it would be smooth-sailing on our way out of the marina. Besides the obvious fact that it was a real sunrise captured in the photo, the light seeping through gray clouds and spilling onto gray sea water in a vibrant combination of color bursts is what made the photo a prime example of light within the sunrise/sunset theme.
