Random Trivia: Encore info - Did you know that Arizona is the only state in the United States Of America that does not recognize Daylight Savings Time? As a result, Arizona experiences great differences in sunrise and sunset times between winter and summer. It's actually really cool to see nature happen the way it's supposed to and not altered by selfish human desires.

Show & Tell
Just thought I'd share a couple images from the past of sunrises I've taken. I usually have to wake up at 4, 5 or 6 a.m. to be at work early, but my schedule has changed for this week and I don't have to be in until 9 a.m. today. But of course because I'm so used to waking up before the sunrise, when I see the sun's already out through my windows while I'm asleep, I wake up freaking out thinking I'm late for work.

After such a traumatic waking moment, it's difficult to get back to sleep, so here I am, two hours before I have to be at work riddlin' around the Internet. Lucky you, heh?

"Flagstaff Sunrise" - Winter 2003-04

Above: The image above was taken about 6 a.m. from Peak Produce looking East (toward the sunrise) in Flagstaff, AZ. It was the middle of winter so the sun was rising later in the day.

No Daylight Savings Time
As stated above in the "Random Trivia" section, Arizona is the only state in the union that does not recognize daylight savings time. Although there are a couple states that have small sections of the state that does not recognize it either, Arizona is the only entire state that boasts such a claim.

What A Difference!
I never really noticed much of a difference daylight savings time made while I lived in other states until I moved to Arizona (to be with my mom due to failing health). Wow! I'm also glad I don't have to be concerned about changing the clock back and forth twice a year or waking up an hour early or late. The rest of you are just suckers and pawns...hahaha! :)

Get a load of the picture below, you'll never believe it.

"Not A 'Black-&-White'" - Winter 2003-04 Sunrise

Believe It Or Not
Yes it's true, the image of the Flagstaff, AZ sunrise above IS NOT a black and white photograph. That's how interesting the sky was that morning while driving to Prescott, AZ to make deliveries for work.

Eye In The Sky
One interesting thing about this image is that the clouds make a shape similar to an eye in the sky. That's why I originally stopped to take the picture but realized later that another interesting fact was that the picture almost looks black-and-white and not color.

"Flagstaff Eye" - Circa 1998

Someone's Watching You
Above: This picture was taken over the sky's as we were headed to Flagstaff, AZ from Cornville, AZ. I happened to have my Pentax K1000 with me and had to snap up this shot cause it was so unusual. You'll have to agree that the clouds in the sky for what appears to be an eagle's eye, NO?

Anyway, I think it looks like that. It's my website so I get to make the rules. :) It's getting late and I still have to eat breakfast and get ready to go to Cameron, AZ for work.
