Sunrise on spring

January 5, 8:21 a.m.

I work on the 19th floor of a building which has a large, eastward-facing lounge. It's there where, each morning, I have a large Tim's tea (2 milks, bags in, please!) and some heated up porridge with ground flax seed, stewed fruit and yoghurt. There is a curvy bit of glass on the Bay Street side of the building, and on it's south-facing end, you can look down on the intersection of Bay and Dundas.

On some mornings, the sky is a beautiful blue, which contrasts nicely with the rising sun's burst of colour. I love the industrial and construction silhouettes against the horizon.

January 29, 7:08 a.m.

On this particular morning, there was a lot of low-lying cloud cover, so the sun rose along a thin, angry line, separating the heavens from earth.

January 29, 7:31 a.m.

Once the sun came up, it underlit the dense clouds and looked menacingly post-apocalyptic. The light from within the building casts reflections on the curved glass, imposing what's behind me onto what's in front of me.

January 29, 7:33 a.m.

When there's a lot of snow in the night or early morning, it muffles the noise from the traffic and brightens the view. I prefer to be on the inside looking out (and down) though.

February 2, 7:42 a.m.

There's a corridor along the south flank of the building, where the offices are, that looks south onto what I think of the city proper. At the west part are buildings with facades that face east and either absorb or reflect the rising sun.

February 6, 7:49 a.m.

There are some mornings when the sun refuses to show its face, but the greyness makes the lit-up buildings stand out more.

February 9, 7:36 a.m.

On briskly cold winter days, the rising sun illuminates the many steam formations and mirror, in appearance, the clouds above.

February 27, 7:10 a.m.

The lounge area has a very organic shape and modern furniture. I liked how the interior pot light mimicked the sun in shape colour and brightness.

March 4, 7:36 a.m.

The crane on a new-build and the distant chimneys seem almost monumental in silhouette.

March 9, 7:40 a.m.

March 9, 7:45 a.m.

This mornings misty, colourful sunrise looked surreal, so I pumped up the clarity in Camera+ to get a more painterly look.
