A reason — other than the sunrise — to take a walk in the woods at sunrise.

"The telecast of the 96th Academy Awards marked a four-year high in total viewers, including a 4% increase compared to the 18.8 million who tuned into the Sunday night telecast in 2023. Last year’s broadcast saw a 13% uptick in total viewership compared to the 16.7 million viewers the awards show nabbed in 2022. This year’s show also nabbed a 3.81 rating among adults 18-49.

But facts are facts, and a mere ten years ago, in 2014, the Oscar telecast drew 43.7 million viewers. Hell, five years ago, in 2019, 30 million tuned in.

But by all means, celebrate that 19.5 million.

Jimmy Kimmel sucks. He’s smug, divisive, not terribly funny, and no one watches his late-night show. America long ago rejected him."

"Golden hour" photos are my favorites. I do enjoy the sunrise photos too, though here in S Central PA it's hard to find lakes with an unobstructed view of the horizon as in Madison and it's environs.

Sunsets and sunrises and the attendant lighting before and after present great photo opportunities. One of my early memories growing up was of seeing late afternoon light against an open field with dark gray clouds in the background, all while listening to what I thought was a replay on the radio of JFK's home grown production of the musical "Camelot." At least that's how I remember it. It may have been the soundtrack from the stage play or the movie, but JFK was referenced throughout.

The Golden Hour makes the world come alive, briefly< like some Maxfield Parrish portrait.
