I have always been drawn to the beauty of the setting sun. I remember photographing a gorgeous sunset from the deck of an aircraft carrier while at anchor off the coast of Turkey over forty years ago while serving in the Navy. Fast forward to ten years ago when we decided to buy a lake cabin in Wisconsin. At the top of the list of “must haves” was a cabin situated on the eastern shore of a lake where we could view the sunset in the evening. Many times during the past ten years I have been enthralled with the sunsets available for me to photograph by merely stepping out the door of our cabin. Sunrises are harder to capture because they require that you rise early in the morning, before dawn, and drive over to the western shore of the lake. Very early one June morning in 2008 we woke our eight year old granddaughter so she could see her first sunrise. I’m not sure it was the promise of the sunrise or the hot chocolate that got her out of bed, but she did get that first sunrise. Sunrises and sunsets are not only at the opposite edges of the lake but at opposite the edges of the day. In fact, they define the edges of the day. They are the events that begin and end each day. You would think that after photographing these events for so long one’s interest would start to wane, that one sunrise or sunset would start looking like other sunrises and sunsets photographed in the past. However, though there may be similarities, no one of these events looks exactly the same as another. Each has its own particular beauty. Each one is a “keeper”…
