Top 25 of 2024 - here is number 24- Why is winter sunrises the best? or why must I freeze to get these colors? 1. Cold air is less humid meaning vapor particles in the sky - resulting in brighter colors. 2. Less smog that results in more sluggish air circulation 3. In Winter, the sun is at lower angle which yields that sweet light. So got my 850 down coat, glove liner, gortex gloves - bring it on Winter sunrise.
