The Glorious Rays of the Sun

Location Taken: Highway in New York
Time Taken: March 2007

Every so often I try taking a photo out the front window of a car I’m in. It’s pretty rare, though.

Most of the time I’m in the front, I’m driving. And when I’m in the passenger seat, well, I’m more likely to take the photo out the side window. Besides, there’s usually a lot of motion blur. Though this photo doesn’t have much for some reason.

Still, every so often there is a marvelous sunset. Or sunrise, in this case. And I just want to capture it.

Well, at least I think it’s a sunrise. The time stamp says 7:59, and it does use 24-hour time. But if I remember right, I’d have been driving west at the time, which makes the angle completely wrong for a sunrise, and I wouldn’t have gotten on the road before 10 in the morning, anyway. And the photos just after it chronologically show the sun a bit closer to the horizon, with the red blaze of sunset…

Ok, it’s a sunset.

I guess that means that there’s something up with the time stamps for my older photos from my first camera…

At least I do know it was March. That’s when I’d have my spring break at college and go back home for a visit. And I’ve got crocus photos as well from this trip. So at least I can trust that part of the time stamp.

…I wonder if my old camera didn’t use 24-hour time, and the program is just chopping off the PM in the conversion…
