The temperature was still pretty chilly this morning. Still dark. Still cold. But clear.
So I piled on the layers and pedaled off towards the lakefront for my first sunrise bike ride
of the New Year. And it was beautiful.
Crisp blue skies… with a red glow beginning to develop on the horizon. Quite a beautiful
transformation. Even though the sunrise seems so much further away these days?!
And then the red glow dissipated and the sky took on a golden glow.
But for some reason, the lakefront today seemed to be chosen airplane route to O’Hare.
Several planes could be seen lining up as they approached the airport. And leaving these
dramatic stripes across the sky. At one point, it was quite apparent that “X” marks the spot.
I’m still wondering if there is a treasure chest of gold or something in the middle of the lake?!
