The big front window here points due east, so the sun rises right into morning coffee every day of the year. the soundtrack to accompany the sunrise ranges from spring bird concerts to autumn geese honking to silent winter snow. Melodies and mystical! In addition, there's a point of land across the bay that is our marker-gauge as the sun drifts north and south during the seasons.
On the longest day --- June 21 --- the sunrise is the furthest left (north), over open water away from the point. But on the shortest day --- December 21 --- the sun rises the furthest right (south), over the landmass like a lazy boy peeking out from his warm blankies.
Today's sunrise was an August fireball and is in the first picture. The other pictures are random sunrises during the year. Using the point as your guide, can you tell which month each picture was taken? (Hint: Every month is represented except January and November.)
