River from balcony
Good morning (5:03 AM) from Australia.

Pointing the compass straight out from our balcony is due East. The longest day of Australia’s year was exactly a month ago.Summer solstice the sun is due East. The sunrise this morning should be slightly to the right or left.
sun rise
Tah-dah! (5:14 AM)

Hot and humid even at sunrise. Exactly like Florida’s Summers.

Our first Pacific Ocean sunrise was stealthily disguised.

Disguised as an ordinary sunrise.

But.

But until yesterday, we’ve only seen Pacific Ocean sunsets, never sunrises.

In the sun’s quick-to-disappear disguise, i smiled at the unique (and kinda glorious) juxtaposition.
