introducing the Bettermost Sunrise Project!!

We were sitting in the feed store the other day, and came up with this idea to run outside in our birthday suits to take 'nekked sunrise' pics....Garry and I did it Roland did NOT...(claimed something about having neighbors!!  >:( )

so I was thinking how cool it would be if we could coordinate a day where every Bettermostian takes a pic of the sunrise out their back (or front) door and posts it one after the other...a visual record of the sunrise around the world!

Rules!

1) take the picture from your house!! (clothing optional)
2) POST it as quickly as possible!

there!!

anyone game?? we have members from around the world...I think it would be fun!

Yes I agree! Cool idea! But what if the sun doesn't rise that day? Well, I mean of course, what if it's a grey day..? Hmm, I guess, we'll post anyway. OK. I just hope I am going to remember!  :-\

Too many trees near me to get a good sunrise picture.    But if we are nekid, wouldn't a moonrise be more appropriate?

it is not so much the asthetic aspect, David.....just a 'feel' of what kind of morning you have there...doesn't matter if it is overcast....it is like we are all together sharing our morning!

I'm game for this and I'm always the first to rise at my house, so it should be do-able!!

But how do we know if the picture was taken sans clothes? That is an important point!!

Seems that's the second time someone questions about the nekked photo takin thing.

Guys - read the rules ! Rule  one says clothing optional - means ya can wear cloting or not - yer choice - don't have ta claim you were nekked or dressed when ya took the picture.

introducing the Bettermost Sunrise Project!!

Rules!

1) take the picture from your house!! (clothing optional)
2) POST it as quickly as possible!


My sunrise picture will be taken as the sun rises between two of 4 high-rise apartments buildings, on the east and south side a my house - so - don't expect me ta take mine nekked.

I would love to get in on this too!  Definitely put it on the banner to keep me reminded.

I suppose we can take it from the POV of seeing the sunrise the morning after instead of rising early to see the sunrise - that never happens in MY world, at least not without duress!

Here's a suggestion: take a daily 'sunrise' pic until that date - maybe it'll help you remember ta do it on that Sunday. And if you forget, post the previous day's pic. In the meantime, practice'll possibly make fer better pics (fer a newcomer ta actually takin pics, such as me).

Aw, shoot--  Jess, I love this idea, but I don't think I can join in!   :-\   I had already begun the logistics planning  ;D... Which window?  How much of my clothing to shed? Then I realized that on that Sunday morning I'll be in a hotel room in Sacramento with three of my coworkers!  (The company's putting us up so we don't have to drive home late Saturday night from our assignment.)  Anyway, I don't think I want to explain myself to the coworkers, even if I DID want to take a picture out the hotel window while demurely exposing my vast mass of blindingly white flesh..   :o    Hmm-m-m....   now that I'm thinking about it.....   we are a group of eight photographers and assistants....   MAYBE I could talk the entire group into stripping and snapping a pic for BetterMost!  Yee-HAW!   :laugh:

Right, Roland - and just because Sacramento isn't your usual locale, Sashca, doesn't mean a sunrise picture from there wouldn't be great!  Go for it!

Hello all, just joined here. Found this place day before yesterday. Wasn't planning on registering until I read about this fun sunrise photo thing you're putting up. So count me in, although I won't be able to take the photo from home.
Sun rises at 6.20 in the morning here (in Turku, Finland, Europe) at this time of year and just so happens that I'm finishing my last nightshift on sunday morning at 7.15. So I'll try to take the photo from work, but if I'm too busy and can't, I'll try to take it one day after, on monday when I have a day off.

Looking forward to see everyone's pics! And no, I won't be getting naked at work  :P

Well welcome to the fun house. Set a spell. You'll have a cup a coffee won't you? Piece a cherry cake?

Instead a takin the picture the day after, maybe you can take it a day earlier and pretend it's actually from the 15th. Be nice ta see a progression a photos from across the world on THAT day!

Either way, glad we got you to register, and if you would like any information about where to find anything in our little community, don't be shy to ask.

Well, I could take the camera to work today also, but since both saturday and sunday morning sunrises will happen when I'm off at work, I can't promise anything. But I'll sure make a go of it.

Hey Jess,

I will try but cannot guarantee that I can get up that early.

But my side of this country doesn't seem to be represented yet.
Although they are saying we will have a big, big, big storm on Sunday, so there may not be anything to see.

Wow guys
Excellent Idea
Bettermost Sunrise Project, April 15th
My sunrise will be at 6:21 in our Newfoundland time zone.
and it should be partly cloudy, might make for a nice sunrise.
No Promises, but I'm setting my alarm clock for this one.

Next Sunday the 22nd of April is Earth Day
so maybe the photos on the 15th can be a precursor for Earth Day, when we can post a photo of our area, taken any time of the day, or even stolen from some other source in our area.  Everyone could do that one.
mmm that means I have to be up at 5:30 to get a good vantage point.

just a reminder....you do NOT have to be naked! LOL!...that was just a silly thing we did one time that gave me the idea for the project! I don't want to find out anyone got arrested cause of this!!  >:(

 :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

and it doesn't matter if you think it is a good picture or if there is bad weather...that is kinda the whole point...the sunrise is not all the same all over the world.

looking forward to seeing all the pics!!

oh, and someone asked if they could take their picture away from their house...that is fine if you don't want to show your own street for personal reasons... ;)

I better bow out for sure now.  That way if I DO wind up doing it, it will be a lovely surprise, rather than the more likely won't do it, and be disappointing. 

Jess, feel free to suggest tweaks to the banner wording I have up there.

Sunrise near Sydney Australia.  Taken from 6.15 am onwards. 




You can just see a sliver of the moon in this one.  And the eyes of one of my dogs!



A few minutes later.



The next ones were taken from different directions over the next 1/2  hour as the sun rose and lit up the trees.

Wow ffrn - Jocelyn, I think
Gorgeous greenery, Thanks for getting this moving.

My pictures, which I have to get now, will have no greenery in them.

Absolutely gorgeous pics.
I better organize a warm suit for tomorrow and have it ready for when the sum is coming upl
Thanks Jess for starting this.

just a reminder....you do NOT have to be naked! LOL!...that was just a silly thing we did one time that gave me the idea for the project! I don't want to find out anyone got arrested cause of this!!  >:(

 :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

and it doesn't matter if you think it is a good picture or if there is bad weather...that is kinda the whole point...the sunrise is not all the same all over the world.
looking forward to seeing all the pics!!

oh, and someone asked if they could take their picture away from their house...that is fine if you don't want to show your own street for personal reasons... ;)

Who said so? And what are you going to do if you find out it is?!!

Jess!!! Don't be so presumptuous!  >:(

 :laugh:  :laugh:

They already said it was going to be gray, nasty and overcast here tomorrow morning. Typical Indiana weather I guess.   :P

Hi David!

Yes, it's another beautiful morning here in Belgium. Yesterday I heard on the news, that Easter time hasn't been that sunny and warm for 60 years now!

I drove around once more and took these pictures (taken after 7:00am) -















I'm going back to bed now!  ;D

WOW! Fabienne! Great picture! But tell me! You are not always going to the bakery that early on Sunday mornings, are you? Tell me you did this only for the Sunrise Project!  ;D

David, Belgium has it's pretty and beautiful bits! I like the fact, that it still has the kind of ancient, historic, 'rustic' side to it in places.

Off course I did!  :)

I never take my camera when i go to the bakery on sunday mornings. And i usually don't get there this early either  ;D

I had to put on clothes of course, well not too many as it's already very warm here (Summer in April: global heating has arrived!  :-\), so i couldn't do the 'nekkid' part of the project  :P

Fabienne, it's summer in Belgium and winter in Indiana. It snowed here today.  >:(

It started out as a cold rain, and during the afternoon it changed over to snow. Maybe I should head over to Belgium and warm up. It feels like it's Christmas time over here! And just a couple of weeks ago it was in the 80's (27-28 C).  ???

I was feeling quite unwell this morning and was having trouble walking from the internet cafe to my St. Kilda pad but nonetheless, here is a view to the sunrise at dawn, St. Kilda, Victoria, a few km from the beach, which I have not yet gawped at.

Well I for one am glad that you were able to share your sunrise with us - it's an unusual view!

Got another couple a hours before mine happens, and based on recent attemps at taking sunrise pics, it won't be much - plus it was raining when I got up earlier - my sunrise pic ain't gonna be no chef d'oeuvre.

Hope the malaise doesn't last too long and you end up having a great day.

Newfoundland.

Here I am in the northern part of the island, near Labrador.
with ice cover still on the harbour, and lots of snow still around.
 


Below is a pic looking south, with Jupiter hanging in the morning sky.



Below - note the sliver of a moon in this hand-held shot.







Below - I realized that the sun was reflecting off a south-west window before I could see it in the east.










The view from my window, looking south, just after sunrise.


Off to bed for a nap.

5:55 a.m.   29 degrees  Vienna, Maine   

Not much of a sunrise today; they're predicting a big storm. They're calling it a Nor'easter. Hopefully we won't be in the part of the state that gets the heavy, wet, power-outage type snow. If it's just rain and high winds we should be okay.

In the meantime - here is the sunset in September 2005 in Santorini - one of the Greek Islands.

The second one is on the way to Naxos (another greek island) from Athens and was taken from the ferry.

OK. These are dreadful! Worse than the ones I posted in my Great White North yesterday. But they are my 'sunrise' shots for the 15th, first east, then south (tried ta include the CN tower), then west and finally north - for what it's worth ...

Unfortunately I could not get up on time for sunrise.  Anyway if I did it would have looked very much like this picture here that I took a little while ago.  I posted it in my place and now I am posting it here.

The storm is bad already.

Here is the Atlantic Ocean in the storm.

What is that saying? Red sky at morning, mariners take warning? So, I'm chagrined to see there's a red sky in Maine, because my FRiend is climbing Mt. Washington today in neighboring New Hampshire.  :(

What is that saying? Red sky at morning, mariners take warning? So, I'm chagrined to see there's a red sky in Maine, because my FRiend is climbing Mt. Washington today in neighboring New Hampshire.  :(



Red sky at night, sailors' delight
Red sky in morning, sailors take warning.

I can honestly say I do not think this is a good day to be climbing Mt. Washington!

The newspaper is full of dire warnings, like this: "The Interim Fire Administrator in Falmouth warned the curious to keep a safe distance from raging seas, which sometimes reach above power lines."

Huh? I think they are so sick of writing about the winter weather they have started babbling. Here's another gem, regarding the Boston Marathon, scheduled for tomorrow:

"Massachusetts safety officials said they are confident that the race will take place, although runners might experience hypothermia and flooded roads."

I think I'll stay home and watch it on TV!

I did it :D Despite work, I was able to take sunrise pictures on the right day. But... so happens that I have usb transfer cable in my appartment instead of where I am right now, so I can't put them online yet  :(
Later, in a few days, I'll be able to upload them if you're still interested how the morning was in Finland.

But I've enjoyed all of your pics now, so thank you. You live around some really beautiful sceneries, I'll tell you that :)

absolutely!! PLEASE do come back and post them!! and thank you. I think it is so interesting to see how different the weather is all over the world. The time difference gives me a headache when I think about it...but to think that I have sunny warm weather while somewhere else there is snow is just amazing to me. The internet has changed my perception on the world so much!

Life surprises you every now and then. I found a matching usb cable to my camera and was able to upload the sunrise photos much sooner than I thought possible. Here's the link to them, hope you enjoy.

Oh yes, the photos were taken at 6.30 - 6.40 am +3 GMT in Finland.

Lovely pictures Sunny!

I have really enjoyed looking at all the pictures everyone posted. I felt special, this morning when i was on my bike taking my picture. I was thinking 'look at me standing here!, what a strange but special thing to do. Just so people all over the planet would get to see my sunrise..'

Thank you Jess for starting this project. It's a great idea.  :)

no thank you!! I know I am not the most eloquent writer but I think some of what I meant with this HAS come out...it is kinda like we are together watching the sun come up together. It has been/is very special to me...

thanks to EVERYONE that contributed to this thread!

we may never meet in person and all we can share is this brief moment in time but it IS a gift. Think of what all of us treasure the most in our homes and 99% of us will say that PHOTOS are the one thing we would rescue if we had to make a choice. memories and moments...

You know what Fabienne, that's pretty much how I felt too. I had seen Jocelyn's pics and Toast's and I thought to myself - one pic just won't do. I wanted the CN tower, but that's not east a me, and there was more light to the west and north - didn't want to disappoint, but as I was walking around I too was thinking 'this is special' no one around & I'm taking pictures, just like folks all over are doing - felt special (even if the weather wasn't cooperatin)

   Well I dont have the ability to do this project, but it was truly one of the
best projects, that has ever been done here on Bettermost...For all the aformentioned reasons...Making everyone be of one mind, and heart at the same point in their day.. All of us who only watched the pictures, also had the feeling.
   Being with a friend, in their particular little corner of the world, and watching the sun come up...It was a wonderfully heart warming experience...The pictures, are all spectacular....If the whole world could be of one mind all the time...sigh thanks Jess for thinking of it
                                    A love card to all the participants,,,,,thank you. from the
                                     bottom of my heart...                   janice   :) :) :)



     Beautiful mind

Come on Roland you can do it.

Cold even for us these mornings.

And don't tell Jess this but when I put on my warm pants this am I neglected to wear my boxers
   - but maybe I get extra credit for that!!  - lol

What a neat experience!!!
I loved it, especially the nap afterwards. lol.

Thank you Jess for starting this.
It was a bit weird to be out skulking around in the mid light, only one snowmobiler passed by and he must have wondered what I was doing.
But I had the same moon sliver as Australia, and saw Jupiter in the morning sky.
and sunrise pics from all over the world taken on the same day
For no better reason than that we wanted to do it.

Next Sunday April 22 is Earth Day.
Why not do something like it again.
Not to get up at 5:30 a.m.
but to photograph something meaningful to us on that day.
 - maybe even something ecological.

Cameron could do the sunset!

Thank you everybody for those wonderful pictures!  It does make me feel like the world is huge and small at the same time.  And it's fascinating to see what you all see when you look out the window or go out your door.  8)

That does it.  I've GOT to get a digital camera!  :P

Sorry to disappoint you, but you didn't. It was just the morning light creating hues and shades of colour in the sky and the whispy thin clouds. We mostly get visible northern lights at night when it's dark and the colours are not nearly that subtle as they are in my sunrise pictures.

How do I know for sure? The clouds in the sky didn't move at all, the way northern lights have a habit of doing. If you want to see the difference, google picture search finds an abundance of northern light images.

These pics were all great, what a fab idea, esp for me as I harldy ever get up early enough to see a sunrise.  Lazy me  ::)

Btw, in the UK we have the saying about sunset with shepherds instead of sailors:

Red sky at night, shepherd's delight
Red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning

Like that it's sort of related to BBM!  :)

What a wonderful treat! Believe it or not I don't have a camera but I'm gonna get one this week so I can take part in the next "project".
 
Me and sunrise aren't the best of friends but I enjoyed this so much I might have to make an effort to love 6 am.
