The sun also rises on Twitter

Although I’ve been tracking images of beautiful California sunsets for a few months, I’ve unintentionally ignored the rising of the sun. Twitter users have been more thoughtful than me, though. For example, Charlie Lieberman of Los Angeles shared this image on Novemeber 10. “The view from our location this morn.
