It is funny how technology has changed our entire lives, including schedules. Even as I get older I remain an early riser. Even so, I rarely see a sunrise. It must have been invigorating for those in the past whose lives were essentially ruled by the rising and setting sun. There would have been something primordial about the impulse to get the day started.....to make hay while the sun shone.
This was a fun piece to do. It was a challenge to suggest the right kind of light in the right way on the various surfaces. I hope you think I captured the essence of those first rays.
