4) Seeing a sunrise is a thing of beauty. The majority of the population, specifically looking at college, does not get up until the sun has risen into the sky. The sunrise brings the beginning of a new day and it shows the beauty of the world. Watching the sun rise in the morning is nothing like watching the sun set at night. Sunsets give me a feeling of romance while the sunrise gives me a feeling of hope. This hopeful feeling is truly indescribable.
In my opinion, sunsets look the same: the red and purple colors paint the sky as the yellow orange sun drops below the horizon for the darkness of the night to appear. The crimson and violet hues beaming softly out is obnoxiously over-rated. Sunrises, however, are constantly changing. Even if you were to see a sunrise in the same location, the look of the sunrise is different from the previous day or time you saw it. For example, I have been to Israel numerous times and have went with the same touring company most of the time. They take their groups to a Bedouin village for a learning experience. The next morning, the group will wake up at 3:00 am, take an hour long bus ride to Mount Masada, hike up the mountain for a sight that warms your heart: the sunrise. These groups rush up the mountain because missing this sunrise would be devastating. This picture was taken during my first trip to Israel on Mount Masada. The sun was rising over the horizon faster than I (or anyone else in my group) had expected. The sun was soft and and gentle so early in the morning, only to become the sharp and harsh light of the Negev (desert in Israel). I had never seen a sunrise such as this before. The light was barely beginning to reflect off of the Dead Sea’s waters. The golden yellow light was radiating into (what felt like) my soul. As the sun continued to rise, the light was spreading onto the vastness of the land of the desert. The morning was peaceful as our group descended down the mountain to experience the sensation of the Dead Sea. Later that day as I lay floating on the water, I looked up at the sun and felt warmth and joy inside.
