Weekend Distraction
That seems a good title both to describe what I'm posting, and to explain why it's late (though I suppose my distraction came before the weekend). In any case, I lost track of the days of the week and the tasks of the day, so here you get a (random) collection of sunrises, some of which I may have posted before in trip reports.

I'm not sure which peak, but this was taken on the Tongariro Crossing (New Zealand) in April 2019.

My favorite way to wake up: in a tent, next to a gorgeous mountain. Mt. Kenya, Feb. 2024.
A series of mornings in the mountains from last August. I tried to pick ones I didn't use in the trip report so recently completed!
Sunrise over the desert works for me, too.

I'll end with one of the many fantastic photos my husband shot one particular decorative morning in El Chalten, Argentina.
