My morning commute today. Except I need a better word than ‘commute’ for when you cycle or walk to work, so there’s time to enjoy the sunrise.

#Aarhus

Water’s edge, mid-city Aarhus, not long after 8am today, shortly before sunrise. The sky is grey-blue, cloudless. The docks and piers across the harbour are dark, almost silhouettes with tall and low buildings in striking shapes – a huge angular crane; a narrow oblong skyscraper; a triangular apartment block; a geodome. Behind them, a stripe of deep pink and orange across the horizon. The high-tide sea is bulging with dark blue ripples, almost black, with orange and pink reflected on the surface. Just to the left, a white-and-red trawler with bunting and white Christmas lights that twinkle in reflections on the water. This is not, I think, the view you imagine when you hear the word ‘commute’.

@CiaraNi Yes. Getting up early is the best.

@dcozy We're spoilt at the moment because the sun gets up later than we do, for the average work day at least. So we're up and on the move already when the sun rises around 8:30 am.

@CiaraNi No daylight savings here, so up with the sun means about 6:30—not too bad.
