I am back in Oakland, California as of 17 days ago, and the nice weather is a welcome change to Scotland's rain. I have been working out in the mornings, leaving home at 5:30am sometimes, and am rewarded for my efforts with utterly beautiful sunrises. Here are a few of them as seen from the Oakland Hills.
Today's sunrise at 6 am
Also today, the view over the pool. Notice the fog rolling over the hills. So pretty!
Exercising in the morning is, for me, a really nice way to start the day because instead of feeling tired, I feel energized. And, seeing the sunrise over the hills always brightens my day, too.
5:30 am a week ago.
As an added benefit, here is the early stages of the sunset a few days ago, as seen facing away from the pool and the hills featured in the sunrise photos.
