The "actual" sunrise time was 5:23, and here's 5:30, with the sun in view, which makes it hard to photograph:
But there was a cloud for the sun to slip behind so that made an entirely new concept of sunrise, here at 5:52:
I hope that's not too much effulgence for one post, but I wanted to collect the wildly different presentations of a single sunrise.

Well if you, wanna see the sun rise
Honey, I know where
We'll jog over to Lake Mendota sometime, then
We'll both just sit there and stare
Me at least six feet away from you
And you just sittin' there
In your brand new leopard-skin coronavirus mask

Nice, Mr. Bum!
The other pictures are pretty good, but that first picture . . . wow!
Photos of protesters in Minneapolis show no social distancing and many unmasked.
Deeply Disturbing.
Especially Since so many are members of minority communities disproportionately oppressed by this pandemic.

Slightly OT (does the post entail a T?):
I hate to disturb Althouse's sense of peace and serenity, but her favorite comedian, Kathy Griffin, who performed that hilarious show AA enjoyed so much a few years ago, just added to her record of hilarious comedy by saying that injecting Trump with a syringe full of air would do "the trick."

What is a sunrise without a visible sun? A prettier picture.
I like them all, each for their own unique look. I especially like that I am able to view them today.
teh horror of chtluthu,
Wow, Larry Kramer died. Not the cnbc guy, the other one. I read "Faggots" twice. Quite the eye opener! Like the Shilts book.
Probably why I tend toward Shouting's view on gay politics despite my tendency to fag haggery.
Thanks for helping us reflect on the majestic beauty of Nature every morning to start the day!

Very nice photos, as always. I'm beginning to think the morning run is merely a thinly veiled excuse for photography!
Add law to Rush's catalog of ignorance, along with economics, morality and mathematics.
These are beautiful!
effulgence? whoa.
Your photographs just get better and better.
I noticed something yesterday when I watched the videos from Lake Geneva where the MSNBC crew was critiquing the lack of mask wearing of the local Wisconsinites- the quality of the video from the prankster with the smartphone was far superior to that of the video taken with the big MSNBC camera- far superior. Hand-held cameramen like that from MSNBC must be well unionized, because you can do better work with any phone today.
The first one is amazing just for all the orange. The 3rd one is great for the content, but lack the pop of color.
I'm not a photo buff, but many of the sunrise pictures you post are spectacular. Having spent 5 years traveling the US by RV I have found this kind of beauty in the sky rare. My question is this. Is that what the naked eye sees, or is the photo different?

will she shoot syringe like a dart or use a 6ft pole?
The first photo is magnificent in its brilliant splendor. Had to look up 'effulgence'. The word doesn't remotely sound like its meaning. It sounds more like a belch or a juicy fart after a big meal.
Uncle Joe says, "I hope that's not too much effulgence after this fine dinner."

Gotta agree about Rush. He seems more and more out of it.

I love the sunrise pictures. Look forward to them every day. Thanks for sharing the beauty.
Are these sunrise posts the equivalent of cafes?
In any case, Biden has just released the latest weapon in his arsenal: League 46. Which will no doubt be as successful as the No Malarkey tour. Take heed, Trumpers.

A gal evidently predisposed to make very bad choices...
Amy Cooper [in the news recently for making a bad choice of an entirely different kind] had a “romantic relationship” with Wall Street trader Martin Priest from 2008 to 2012, “while unaware that [he] was still residing with his wife,” according to a fraud suit she filed against him in 2015.
Cooper broke up with Priest when she learned his wife was pregnant, the Manhattan Supreme Court filing said.
But she still had feelings for Priest when he allegedly reached out in October 2013 and told her that his marriage “was irretrievably broken down and that he was a victim of abuse from his wife,” according to Cooper’s suit.
Cooper alleged in her suit that Priest also said that he’d since gotten another girlfriend pregnant, that she “had likewise abused him” and that he desperately needed $100,000 to “protect himself and his children from his wife” and to pay his girlfriend “to abort her unborn child.”
In order to convince Cooper to part with the cash, Cooper alleged, Priest allegedly lied and told her that he “wanted to get back together after all his marital and extramarital problems [were] resolved.”
In response, Cooper loaned him a total of $65,000 between Feb. 12 and July 30, 2014, her suit said.
But in September 2014, after Priest’s divorce was finalized, Cooper got a text message from his girlfriend, who said she and Priest were living together and planning to marry, according to her suit.
The girlfriend also allegedly told Cooper that Priest’s “claims of abuse and intent to be with [Cooper] were false.”
Priest and the girlfriend got married the following month and were living with their infant son in New Jersey, according to posts on her Facebook page.
At the time Cooper filed her suit, Priest — who then worked for Daiwa Capital Markets — called her claims “completely salacious” and “absolutely false.”
He also filed a legal response denying the allegations against him.
Cooper’s suit was later dismissed when neither side showed up for court conferences in January and March 2018, records show.

What an idiot it would be iconoclastic if AltHousFrau claimed she sawed the face of God. Ipso facto therefore Ann is wholistically curating the icon not fragmenting it into sedimentary particulates.
>>Boomers here must have a hundred personal stories about that flu.
If it was in the spring of 1968, I was a high school freshman on the South Side of Chicago (if you want to get technical about it, my high school was actually on the near West Side). I have no recollection of it whatsoever.

1968 Hong Kong flu estimated to have killed 100,000 in the US.
US population was approximately 206,000,000 in 1968 so grossing up to current 330,000,000 population gives us a death total of 160,000 in current terms.
No shutdown, no masks, no CNN.

Are you a new handle for an old poster? Your usual babble is now verging on jabber.

Biden could be thinking he is Sherlock Holmes
I think when Canada geese stop migrating to Hudson’s Bay or wherever they used to go, they should lose the protection of the Migratory Bird treaty and you should be able to clear them out. It says on line that many have stopped migrating due to “climate change” but this is stuff and nonsense. The reason they migrated was to control predator population. Sure the arctic foxes get fat on baby geese, but then they starve to death over the winter. If the geese stayed year round, the fox population would just grow until the geese were whittled down to a hardy few instead of vast flocks of fat stupid birds.
Nowadays they can stop just about anywhere and not worry about their babies being eaten, since the predators in settled areas that could handle them have been basically extirpated. Therefore over time they lose there instinct to migrate as non migratory individuals, who would normal not have successfully reproduced, now are successful.
I guess either the sites who publish these “climate change” theories are either too stupid to see how it guts their credibility, or they think their readers are stupid.
Well, one thing I have learned about the internet during COVID is that there is an inexhaustible supply of morons, so maybe they are right. The pointlessness of arguing with stupid people has finally come clear to me. This is actually my first screen time all day. I rented a cherry picker and did some tree trimming and a repair to my barn. I got in my garden, mostly. There was a hard frost last week, but I think the frosts are over now. Now I think I am going to watch a movie and maybe enjoy a couple fingers of scotch.
Enjoy yourselves people.
Maybe I will count satellites, that’s always fun.

Bad timing, certainly.
Regarding the doggy Karen in Central Park, I hope she burns in Hell. She’s clearly not afraid of the dude, yet puts on a distressed voice for the cops, hoping to get this guy in handcuffs just because he’s doing some harmless thwarting of her inviolable will.
Not about race. I’ve been there. Those lying shitbags should be stood against a wall.
thank you AA for the inspiring pics and post

Nichevo,

In 1968 not only was I in Vietnam flying combat missions but I had ABSOLUTELY NO conscious thought about,or concern for, said "Hong Kong" flu. Hell, I even took R&R for an entire week in Hong Kong itself that August--can't worry about something one didn't dwell upon even for a nano-second. "Ignorance is bliss" I guess. Truth be told I was actually more worried about Mao's swarms of Red Guards raging thru Hong Kong at the time--a much more "clear & present danger"--tho I didn't let that little minor detail stop me.. :)
Listening to L.A. radio folks commend the protesters smashing a cop car for their return to social distancing.
It shouldn't surprise anyone that no one remembers the Hong Kong flu as a big deal in 1968-69. So many other things happened. Nixon was elected President. The Manson Murders. The first Moon Landing. Woodstock. Hey Jude was the #1 single in'68 and Sugar Sugar in '69. Who had time to think about getting sick and dying?

Social contagion or diversity breeds adversity.
Wow, Larry Kramer died. Not the cnbc guy, the other one.
So now we have forever lost the opportunity to bring them together.
Maybe in a game show format: Kramer versus Kramer.
But we still have Michael Richards.
He believed that doing Seinfeld made him "Jewish-adjacent," but unfortunately for him, it did not make him "Black-adjacent" enough to get away with racial insult comedy.
I don't remember the Hong Kong Flu, or even Hong Kong Phooey. I do have vague memories of David Carradine in Kung Fu. It seems like he was always wandering in the desert when he wasn't having some old guy call him "Grasshopper," but there must have been more to the show than just that.

There's some pushback in the Post on the accepted Central Park dog lady narrative. I don't buy it. If I were some place I wasn't supposed to be or doing something I wasn't supposed to be doing I would hightail it out of there, not report the Karen who pointed it out to me to 911.
"Hightail" -- another expression that seems natural to me that I wonder if people still use.

people who are unaware of how things are made are taken by surprise when those things are no longer made. Public sector employees just naturally assume their favorite things will always be available. Then they regulate them out of business and act surprised when they are gone.
