Panorama Photo

When you rise early to observe a awaking day, you usually do not only portrait the object of your "begierde" (e.g. a mountain range or as here a concrete range) before sunrise when your eye proves to be a miracle - accomodating to even very dim light but you usually wait until the sun is rising to confirm the existence of this other miracle.

Here I did not know until I truly saw the sun coming where it will rise, it was a nice surprise, that it appeared just left of the skyscraper jungle. Later on I learned, that San Diego sunrises are well known and often captured - usually better than here; the sky above downtown was occupied by a boring cloud.

For further details on the skyscrapers be so kind and visit my daytime pictures taken from nearby (14952).
