A rare gem!
The title alone suggests a number of things. A of course meaning one. Rare meaning something
you don't see it that often. And gem meaning anything from a rock to a relationship.
In this case the A is a one of a kind sunrise. They are all different you know. No two alike. Of course the foreground can remain the same, but the sky is always changing as are the tones of the light that old sol brings with him/her. And then the time that the camera goes click, click assures a different color with each click.
Rare in this case relates to just that ever changing view as the sun rises at what seems to be an extraordinary rate of incline. One can almost see it move when it is at the horizon. During the day it doesn't seem to move at all. Equally rare in my case also relates to "Seldom" in that I seem to be catching more sunsets than rises as I advance with age. Seems like sleeping in is now just as cherished as when I was in college. Although back then if I was going hunting or fishing, daybreak was an excitement not to be missed.
Finally, the gem part. I so seldom make sunrise that the mere fact of being there is a gem. Oh, and there is the quality of the image which results from "being there". That's construed by some as a gem.
