Another Reason I Love Colorado

The sun* rises in the East and sets in the West, right?

In most parts of the world that means if you want see pretty colors in the sky in the morning, you have to look to the east.

But in Colorado you can look to the East:


Or you can look to the West:



Yes, we have 360 degree sunrises. Sunsets too.

The first picture is looking directly east at the sun rising over my neighbors house, the second shot is the same morning, just minutes later, looking out my back door 180 degrees to the West. The mountain is Pikes Peak. Pretty cool.

*I can't believe** I had the word "sign" instead of "sun" in this post for the last 24 hours and didn't notice it even though I probably** looked at it 10 times. Proof once again, that I am the LOUSIEST proof reader in the world.

**Need more proof? I published this correction*** (after proof reading of course) and realized I had spelled "probably" as "probabably". Corrected it, proof read, published and then saw that I had spelled "believe" as "beleive". Really, it's not actually a spelling issue most of the time, it's a *typing* issue.

***Oh. My. God. "Correction" not "corretion". I give up.
