I have always loved the early hours. Got my best thinking and writing done at this time. And King Solomon found it was the same for him and his bride too. Song of Songs 7v12 “Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine flourish, whether the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee my loves.”
Those are amazing scenes/shots that can be used in many many projects out there. Right now I am narrating some of my poetry and using backdrops such as this to make video displays..(of the poetry). I did mention this before...that if you gather the shots, no more than thirty seconds each and store them on a site where the public can access them for a fee. Other users create a loop and make the same thirty second video look like fifteen minutes or more. Glen you have the opportunity to capture a lot of unique nature...tree stumps, roots, leaves, barks etc etc.... There is an opportunity there.
@@arboristBlairGlenn True, it’s possible my viewpoint is a bit different because I’m so young and haven’t really started my career. I’ve still got a few more years of engineering school.
@@BGTech1that’s part of the equation. And the more engaged and driven you are the more lucky opportunities will present themselves. Sometimes they are very hard to spot. But I know many many hard working, talented people who have little to nothing because they never had their lucky break.
@@user-hn9fr7mn3x One of the ancient Roman philosophers, Seneca, said this about luck:...."Luck was when preparation meets opportunity." Personally, I do not believe in 'luck' in the sense that it is a phenomenon that exists in reality. I think that luck is a word we use when trying to understand a series of events and circumstances that we do not fully comprehend. To me, it is part of Life and the billions of little instances that people everywhere experience from day to day. Sometimes we interact with those instances in a good way and sometimes in a not so good way. Now...after saying that....and from a spiritual perspective...I do think that sometimes we get help from the spiritual realm...a little nudge this way or that....keep you from leaving when you had planned because you can't find the car keys, and as a result, avoided an accident that quite possibly you would have been involved in had you left on time. Or maybe arrange for you to "just happen" to meet someone that opens the door for something good. How many times have we said " Wow...what are the odds on THAT happening..?? " And then when it seems that 'luck' deals someone a bad hand: accidents, poor health, financial loss, personal loss, etc. To lay it all at the feet of 'luck', is , to me, bordering on superstition. Yea, for sure, this whole thing about 'luck' is a very interesting subject to think about and talk about.
I feel sorry for people who spend their whole lives in a big city and rarely see a beautiful sunrise or sunset except possibly when they take a vacation to a place where they have the chance to see both. To me, it is missing a big part of Life not to get out in Nature and get awed by these things. It should help us humans keep our lives in proper perspective and not get the "big head"....LOL..!!
In Australia you don’t need to be up high to see the sunrise.
👍🏻

There is something very spiritual about seeing an amazing sunrise.

So many opportunities in this life. You are welcome to use my shots for no charge. While you are at it, take a walking stick. They are free too😊
I’ve always been told it’s hard work and not giving up
Nope, sadly, it’s a lot of luck too.

Slow down. Stop and take in the view. Life is way too short!
Magic of Saratoga 👍
A lot of places like this
Well there's always the sunset...
i get more done by 10am, then most accomplish all day. you only get to see so many sunrises, take advantage of every one
Don’t I know it. As we age, the little bit of magic that happens is so much more important!
I’m the opposite. I’m most productive after around 6:00pm
My goodness I thought Cat Steven’s was at yours then 🤪🤪🤪🤪
Careful now. If I really sing it will sound like a cat wailing in the night😳
@@arboristBlairGlenn We call it Cat a wowing 🤗🤗🤗😂😂
