Its Only 365 Days
158: SUNRISE FAIL
158: Saturday, March 26, 2011
I have been to Galveston on several occasions to capture the sunset and what a gorgeous sunset I have been privy too on several occasions, but because by nature, I am not an early bird (unless I'm being paid..aka...to get to work early), I do not rise. I am a night owl and I love it.
However, the sunrise mission has plagued me for the longest time, and so finally I decided to wake my arse up and get on the road to get to the beach. I set my alarm for 5am, ended up waking up at 4 (wtf), and didn't want to go back to sleep b/c you know how that goes....oh I only closed my eyes for a second....so I wait and wait and I find out online that sunrise happens at 7:21 to be exact. Of course I leave the house late (and mind you this is an hour and some change ride from my house) and so I'm going along and at first everything was grand and then I started to yawn, so I put the a/c and the music on blast until I got to the beach at exatly 4 minutes until sunrise. I rush over to the sand, set up my camera...its only me and the fisherman this early...and wait...and, um wait, and yawn...and...do you see this picture. This is all I got after an hour and 15 minutes to be exact. Somebody..and I'm not naming any names here...forgot to check the weather report. Heavy clouds all day. SUNRISE FAIL.
Not only am I pissed this is the only shot of even a hint of sun, but now I have to drive back because nothing is open this early other than food places and I'm physically exhausted. Somewhere on the way back I did unfortunately close my eyes while driving...but thankfully the rrrrrrrr sound of the freeway caution bumps jutted me back awake. (Believe me, it was terrifying).
I get home and I went directly into coma mode and slept well into the 2pm hour in the day.
