Daylight Savings Sunrise
Mar 13th, 2008 by jeremy
Daylight savings time in the spring is never fun. Spring forward just means losing an hour of sleep and trying to convince your body it is time to get up when it knows it is owed another hour of bliss.
Going to work is once again in the dark until the season catches up with the time shift, but that also means I get to look out at a beautiful sunrise from my office. I walked out a couple of days ago to snap this from the front of the building. A great way to start the day.

Wow what a gorgeous picture Jeremy!
I live in a Welsh Valley in the UK and I have recently seen some stunning sunsets when I am out and about and I have so wishes I had my camera on me.. but never have, I need to try and make a habit of taking it with me to catch things like that, you just know that by the time you have got all the way home and back, it would have gone…
Thanks for sharing that lovely picture, if its not being too nosey, is your office near SLC? just wondering where that is looking over because it will remind me of my visit to Provo and SLC in 2004?
Thanks
Sue
Yep, south of SLC by about 40 minutes in Pleasant Grove. This is looking East at the mountains.
Sunset or sunrise Jeremy? Either way, a lovely picture, the snow adding to its crowing glory.
Perhaps you or someone who visits your site, will be able to enlighen me…..coming from somewhere that does not go on daylight savings, I fail to see the reason for it…and everytime I ask someone, I get different reasons as to why its done, amongst them, energy savings. Hmmm….how? The power and lights will be utilize for the same amount of hours….during the summer, here in Hawaii anyway, if we went on daylight savings, it could still be daylight until 8:30-9:00 at night. And the reason for that is? LOL! Its hard enough dragging myself out of bed so that I can go to work when its bright out…almost impossible when its still dark!

@JeanA – I have to admit that the time change has always puzzled me a bit too. I think it made a bigger difference in years past than it does now with the lifestyle we tend to lead. This is one of those things I just go with because I really have no choice…other than move to Hawaii or Arizona I guess
Thanks for that enlightenment on where the photo is situated
JeanA – I am the same as Jeremy, I am in the UK and wonder every year, twice a year why we still do this.. every few years they talk of stopping it but every year, “spring forward, fall back” we do it… LOL

Beautiful picture Jeremy !
I wish I could walk outside and see that view …. truly beautiful !
