| 0:00.0 | Do you think of a sunrise as a snapshot? |
| 0:25.6 | I have always felt a slight annoyance at pictures of sunrises and sunsets. Don't get me wrong, I love them. |
| 0:27.6 | I've taken countless pictures of these beautiful events, but I still feel that something is not right about a picture of the sun as it breaks the horizon. |
| 0:35.6 | This morning it occurred to me what the |
| 0:38.2 | annoyance is about. A sunrise is not a snapshot. A sunrise is dynamic and wonderful. A sunrise moves. |
| 0:47.0 | A snapshot does not move. A sunrise must be watched carefully or missed. It only takes a few |
| 0:53.7 | moments to see the earth spin the sun into view. |
| 0:57.0 | Every second something changes in the light of a sunrise. |

| 1:29.3 | Wow, what a beautiful symphony. No, that's messed up. We all recognize that. A snapshot of a sunrise |
| 1:35.8 | is a blap. Sure, a picture can be pretty. Perhaps a single chord can be pretty too, |
| 1:41.5 | but it will never capture the full effect. There's so much to a sunrise. |
| 1:46.0 | At first the stars seem to be dimmer. Then the sky is slightly less black to the east. |
| 1:52.0 | A glow begins to surround the viewer as diffracted and refracted light arrives on the scene. |
| 1:58.0 | The stars disappear. Then there's a purple light in the sky to the east. |
