    Sunrise?
    Uh. Nah. That's about 4 these days, and I'm jetlagged (the other way), so I'll skip that.

      6:45am. Cool (60 DegF) and quite.
      View facing east
      Morning dew
      morning mist
      overlooking Half of the Grand River (the trees you see are on an island in the river) from Mercury Drive.
      THis is right next to the bridge to Potawatami Bayou. I was intending to go to that bridge but was a photograher there already. He was taking boring pictures of just the sunrize over the water.




      and maybe 3 minutes later:



      Well, it was quite, except for this





      >> later note
      Man, I was expecting to see some sunrizes from other continents by now.
      Well, maybe will see some from other parts of westernhemishper today.

      Then see what lurch says.

          Excellent shots, Redman!
          Let's see if 2 other people can get a sunrise shot before moving to the next tag, as a special consideration for enjoying each morning, eh?

              Just missed one, in Anchorage last night, the sun set in the Northwest for a little while just before midnight and came back up in the Northeast a few hours later. It never got very dark, just one long red sunset/sunrise. Cool stuff. Didn't have a bike with me or time to take a picture.

                Didn't understand we needed more than one pic to keep the game moving or I would have pushed the bike out in the drive at sunup for a shot...

                Weekend is starting...let's get this riding game moving with the next tag.

                We can start a pretty picture photo thread if we need one....

                  I agree with Bob. It might be nice to have sunrises from other continents but I haven't seen too many Aussies or Brits playing with us yet so let's just move on.

                    Thanks CU...

                    Heading out now, tagless

                    Between the heat and rain, this is my first ride in over a week...
                    Want to get out before it gets hot....

                          Am awaiting Mr Lurch to "surrender the tag" as per the original rules as posted back in the first page or so (although that is not how the game has been proceeding in recent months).
                          Mr Lurch did specifically ask for a delay on this sunrize tag, and repeated his request again as recent as this morning.

                          And the original rules do allow the new tagger to take 48 hours to post the new tag scene, so if that were to occur there would be downtimes anyway.

                          I do have photo(s) ready and waiting to delcare the scene for the next tag. Will check back in a couple hours.

                          My observation is that the sun has risen in over 50 time zones since original sunrize tag was declared. Although, granted, many of those times zones dont have any motorcycles.

Use your imagination but keep it generic so everyone can give it a whirl...Give you an extra reason to go ride...!!
                            I believe the "surrender" thing was only if the picture content was questionable...and Redman...your pic was defiantly a sunrise...

                            And nothing about changing the rules to get three pictures...

                            Weekend is a wasting...let's get some tags up...

                            Lurch can start a pretty sunrise thread if he wishes...

                              I have reread the rules. I will say that this point is unclear, and can be interpereted either way.
                              One place says the tagger post a picture that meets the tag and then post another picure making a new tag.
                              Another place says the original poster acknolodges the picture (and surenders the tag). BUt it doesnt specifically state the order these occure, or that the acknoldgment is to be given before the new tag is presented.

                              Seems that in recent months anyway (that I have been paying attention to it) that the new poster post the tag and new tag pretty much at same time.

                              I have pictures available and will pe posting in about half hour. No, insult ment to MR Lurch.

                              Dave.

                                Lurch complimented your shots, to me that's conceding the tag - post up or lose your chance... And no, under no circumstances are three shots EVER required for a tag - if you have extra, post them while other people are riding - I've done it.
