Pull Over!     The Sun is Rising

Photo of the Day

My wife, Carrie, and I were driving down the Oregon coast en-route to California.

It had gotten late and yawns were contagious; so, we decided to sleep in our rental car.

This proved to be a very cold and uncomfortable night.

About an hour before dawn, we gave up on sleep, turned on the heat and started our day.

As we drove down Highway 101, the sky above changed from black to dark blue, pink and eventually a vibrant and bright orange.

. . .

With the early-morning light shining through the trees of Highway 101, Carrie spotted a turnoff and pulled in so I could snap a photo.

We never could have imagined the stunning sight that awaited us…

Sometimes it pays to get up early!
