Not to mention we've had no Internet for a few weeks now. Moving. But I have a few moments of Internet access now, and I've been walking around with my microrecorder a lot lately, so here's some sound for you guys.
Oh, hey, also, unless you like beach noises like waves and gulls and stuff, this is going to be a big waste of your time. Just a heads-up. On the other hand, if you like beach noises, this is totally going to effing make your day.
Realization: A sunrise isn't very cool when it's just sounds. Something gets lost. Good thing I took a picture, too. Very nice.
I've long had a thing for sunrises, maybe because I've never been good at getting up and seeing them. On the rare occasions I've seen them -- and the even rarer occasions I've seen them when not stumbling home from some ridiculous night -- I've usually enjoyed the hell out of them in a really profound way. The first time I saw the Grand Canyon was at sunrise, and let me tell you, when those first splendid rays crested the ridge and splashed gold and scarlet across the purples and grays of stones and sky, I pretty much lost my shit. I got it all on video, too. And that all-over swell double rainbow feeling didn't wear off fast, or not fast enough to prevent me from splicing some of the LOTR soundtrack behind that footage when I got home and totally losing my shit all over again when I watched it in my apartment.
Oh yes, my friends. I had that kind of time. Sadly, it seems I've misplaced that file.
Anyway. So, good places to see sunrises ... let's have 'em.
Golden Gate Bridge, y'all. Get your asses out here!
