Sunrise, sunset

Harbor sunrise

Edmond Hatfield got up before the crack of dawn today for an annual winter occurrence from Long Wharf - the sun coming up over the open water, rather than Logan Airport.

Yesterday, Neil took in last night's spectacular sunset from the Pru, while Saul Blumenthal watched it in Waltham:

Last night's sunset was indeed spectacular - those pictures don't do it justice. A few in my office on the 33rd floor in the Financial District ooo-ed and ahh-ed for a good 30 minutes.

I took the pic from the 32nd floor. Indeed the photo probably captures a tenth of the actual beauty of the event but I was hoping people could fill in some of the lost resolution with their mind's eye.

btw, that's Fenway Park lit up on the right.

Thanks, Adam, for posting my photo. My home office window faces west and I've gotten pretty good at sensing when there will be an amazing sunset!

The Editor highly approves of the Allen Toussaint reference, intended or otherwise, and encourages UHub readers to absorb the wisdom of these lyrics:

i took my 3 yr old son for a walk at around 7pm. it was warm and wonderful. the moon was peeking around every corner, behind every house's chimney and through all the trees. no matter which street we walked down there it was, not quite full but illuminating and beautiful. i asked the little guy if he thought there was only one moon or if we kept seeing different ones? he thought about it for a minute, peeked around a tree and looked at me and assured me it was only one moon and that i was silly.
