Sunrise

This is the sunrise on the first day of school 2008. It amazes me to look at something like this, my mind begins to spin. A vision like this requires so much. A planet with an atmosphere, which is rare enough, but then saturated with water vapor. Light diffracting through that atmosphere as the speed of each wavelength changes slightly, with blue (short wavelengths) scattering the most... but then our eyes, developing through evolution to sense those small differences in wavelengths... but that same stuff (electromagnetic waves) is what transfers this photo from my iPhone to this website... and yet the car I'm driving in affects that atmosphere and along with the natural factors, increases our global temperature on average because the sun's rays heat up the planet but that heat can't radiate out in the same quantities it used to...

A sunrise. A new day. A new hope.

p.s. we fixed the ozone
