Thanks, Wayne. I'm a little partial to it too. It was "f8 and be there" and a little luck. I hope you have started recovering from your ordeal yesterday morning.
Dan, I appreciate your kind remarks. Thanks. FYI: here's a blurb I posted on Facebook:
This series of sunrise photos from my bedroom window began in January 2008. That's1.38 per year. Beautiful sunrises don't come every day and we should take the time to enjoy them when they come. If for whatever reason, you don't get to see sunrises, I suspect the same is true for sunsets. If you don't get to see sunrises or sunsets because of a visual problem, I hope you can get someone to describe them to you. If you don't get to see them for some other reason, well, you know what to do.
