On this morning a ground fog obscured the horizon until shortly before the sun rises above the seen horizon.  

The forest fires in the western United States are adding to the red tint of the sunrise.

Photographs taken on 8 August 2018.

# Sunrise Video


As the photographs were stitched together into this video, I noticed a slight shift from one frame to the next.  The photographs in the video cover a 37 minute time-frame.

All the photographs taken have been compiled into a short 9 minute 31 second video.  Music: "Blue Danube" by Strauss.

# Dawn to Sunrise Photographs in Sequence

[Dawn](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/dawn): *The period of the day when light begins to appear in the sky from the sun.*
[Sunrise](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/sunrise): *The time when you first see the sun in the morning.*

To give you an idea of the when the photographs were taken I am adding a T-time.  T-0 is sunrise, T-10 is 10 minutes before sunrise, and T+5 is 5 minutes after sunrise.

This is a representative sample of the photographs in the video.
