Cloud cover here is the low and middle layers together, the cloud that hides the sun. High cloud is what a sunrise lights up, so it is counted on its own. Open-Meteo archive (ERA5 and IFS analysis), 8:00 AM.

In My Ears

What I Was Listening To

  • Unbroken Faith (Castle Federation, book 9) by Glynn Stewart. About 59% to 71% of the way through.

From Audible's listening time for the day, which does not say which book: the book comes from the order I heard them in, and how far through it is an estimate. How it is worked out.

Same Sky

Mornings That Looked Like This

The three sunrises in the log whose sky colors sit nearest this morning's, by the five-color palette under each photograph, whatever the date or trail.
