> I like sunrises, too. My body always seems to wake me up between 6:00 and 6:30, except when I've lost a lot of sleep, so in the winter months, I can sometimes catch a glimpse of the sunrise.

There would be like a flat column of shimmering, slightly distorted light stretching out from the horizon halfway to the shore, and it would get longer and longer as the sun set lower and lower, and the sky would just be smeared with colors. It's incredible. I should go again today. It's been awhile.

Yup, sunsets are better. Especially if it's raining. The whole sky lights up, the colors tapering off from brilliant flourescents to brilliantly subdued velvet shades. If you get in the right spot here, there is a "rain" smell of slightly sweet chamomile, earth, and sheer wonder, whatever the season. Of all the natural beauties, sunsets grow old the slowest. Even these mountains become more familiar than they should after enough years, but sunsets never lose that much of their awe.

Just that we think they're beautiful. I mean, the first man to see sunsets as beautiful? C'mon, just imagine it: some hairy little guy going 'ooh' at night is killed and eaten by some hungry animal. Thank you, naural selection.
