Every morning, as the world awakens and the darkness of night fades away, a peculiar magic occurs. This magic lies in the beauty and wonder of a sunrise. The sunrise is a phenomenon that happens every day, but it never fails to captivate and amaze those who witness it. As the sun begins to rise above the horizon, the sky transforms itself into a painting of vibrant colors. Shades of pink, orange, and purple blend together to create a breathtaking sight. It is as if nature itself is putting on a show, displaying its artistic prowess for all to see.
But I am beyond grateful for this motivation that my camera sparks in me – without it I certainly would have missed the odd stunning natural spectacle or two. I would have only seen sunrises on the walk home from a Summer’s party in town only to fall into my bed and sleep through the day. Now I sometimes go to bed extra early so that I can greet the new day along with the sun.
Just before sunrise, it was readily apparent that the skies were exceptionally transparent and we all had a good feeling that we had a good chance at catching a glimpse of the flash. Once again, however, remember that the sun and also the moon because it reflects direct sunlight back toward Earth is really composed of a stack of different colored images.
It is as if nature itself is putting on a show, displaying its artistic prowess for all to see. The peacefulness of the morning is highlighted by the soft rays of sunlight that gently filter through the clouds. The world seems to come alive as the sun's warm and golden light touches everything it reaches.
What causes the strange green flash at sunset and sunrise on Earth?
There are very special cases, when the sky is very clear and exceptionally transparent, that a green flash can be glimpsed just as the very topmost part of the sun is rising or setting.

Here is something that you might remember from your high school earth science class: As sunlight — which appears to be pure white — passes through a glass prism, it refracts or bends. Different wavelengths of light are bent by different amounts. In this way a prism can spread out a ray of white light into the rainbow spectrum.
The spread of refractive colors can be observed in poor-quality binoculars and telescopes. In such inexpensive instruments the optics tend to be not aligned properly so sometimes you'll see the full moon appearing with a yellow-orange tinge on one side and a bluish tinge on the opposite side.
Once again, however, remember that the sun and also the moon — because it reflects direct sunlight back toward Earth — is really composed of a "stack" of different colored images. Perhaps you can recall the fictitious name "Roy G. Biv," where each letter represents a color in the spectral lineup: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet.
Of course, we normally view that stack of colors all at the same time, so as to appear more or less white.
From the gentle whisper of the wind to the chirping of birds, there is a sense of harmony in this magical moment. The sunrise is more than just a spectacular visual display; it holds a deeper meaning for many. It symbolizes new beginnings and the hope that comes with each new day. It reminds us that no matter how difficult yesterday may have been, today brings with it the promise of a fresh start. This daily occurrence is a reminder to embrace the opportunities that lie ahead and to appreciate the beauty of life. In a world that can often feel chaotic and overwhelming, the sunrise offers a sense of calm and serenity. It provides a moment of stillness and reflection, allowing us to pause and appreciate the beauty of our surroundings. It is a reminder to slow down, to take a deep breath, and to find gratitude in the simple things. The sunrise is a reminder of the power and majesty of nature. It is a reminder that we are but a small part of a much larger universe, and that there is something greater at work. This magical display serves as a reminder of the beauty and wonder that can be found in the world, if only we take the time to look. In conclusion, the sunrise is a remarkable and awe-inspiring phenomenon. It is a display of nature's artistry and a symbol of hope and new beginnings. The magic of a sunrise cannot be fully described in words; it must be experienced firsthand to truly appreciate its magnificence. So, the next time you have the opportunity, wake up early and witness the peculiar magic of a sunrise..
