Science was never my strongsuit in school. Give me grammar, literature, spelling, typing: anything relating to the written word. But, please, no science or math.
Therefore, I can’t give you the scientific explanation for why the sun rises in different areas of the sky at various times of the year. (Motor Man or Marshall could tell you.) So I’ll just show you pictures.
All of my sunrise photos are taken from our deck. The winter sunrises are really out of view from that location. So we’ll begin with a March sunrise. For a point of reference in these pictures, notice the pier and the treeline in the background.
Here’s an April sunrise. The sun is rising further to the left.
A May sunrise.
And in June, the sunrise is at the far end of the tree line.
By August, the sun has begun to move back toward its winter time sunrise location.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I think I’ll go ask one of “my guys” to explain this to me one more time. There just may be a pop quiz.
