This is the penultimate sunrise from my 2012 storm plagued Crystal Symphony Transatlantic.  On September 17 we were supposed to visit Halifax but missed it due to storm delays:

Our first Crystal Cruise on Crystal Harmony in Alaska 19+ years ago.  Time goes quickly when you are having fun.

 

And back then as they did on many cruise lines the Baked Alaska Parade.

Today's sunrise is the last from my storm-beset 2012 Crystal Symphony Transatlantic.  It was the last day before our arrival in New York:

Today's sunrise is really today.  It was taken during my morning walk at the Cicero-North Syracuse High School, opened 5 years after I graduated high school.

Nice, Roy!

 

I hope you’re having a nice visit. Was there a reunion involved?

Portions of downtown Miami look like this right now..  This is wish I had super powers and someone might say "It's A Bird", "It's A Plane".  "It's Superman" This way I could fly around these detours on the sidewalk.

Today's sunrise is from a 2003 Australia land trip.  On September 20 we were near Ayres Rock.

There was.  I posted some photos and commentary on "The Daily" on the HAL forum.  Friday we had an informal gathering with pizza and wings:

 

The actual reunion was Saturday:

Today's sunrise is from my 2017 trip that featured a segment of MS Amsterdam's Grand Asia voyage from California to Hong Kong.  It was taken September 21 from Amtrak's Cardinal approaching Chicago:

Today's sunrise is from a Blount Cruise in 2006 on their smallest vessel, the Niagara Prince, from Rhode Island through the Champlain Canal to Burlington, Vermont.  On September 22 we were approaching New York City from Long Island Sound:

And the prophecy has come to pass: with photos from a current cruise being posted, we are now officially off-off-topic.

I have no sunrise for September 23 and I am going to September 18.  This was taken September 18, 2014. on a 6-day Carnival Fantasy cruise out of Charleston, SC.

Today's sunrise really is today.  It was taken on this morning's walk near the middle school about a 10-minute walk from my house.

For the second day in a row I did not have an archived sunrise but was able to get one this morning, taken on my morning walk at our local mall's parking garage.

Today's sunrise is from my 2017 Oosterdam cruise from Vancouver to San Diego.  On September 26 we visited Victoria.  The day turned out much nicer than it appeared at dawn.

It was burgers on Friday, ribs tonight.

 

We bid summer a fond farewell.

I have a sunset today instead of a sunrise.  It's from my MS Oosterdam cruise from Vancouver to San Diego.  On September 27, 2017 we visited  Austoria, Oregon:

It is not often when I see a cruise ship when I think of Madonna. However, this time I did and I was wondering if they play her famous song "Like A Virgin" on their sail-aways.

 

I wonder.
