Drops are now deprecated. After a good run, I've learned I can publish sunrises faster when I do just a few at a time, as a time allows, rather than committing to twelve at a time. This will allow me to catch up on publishing faster. See the most recent sunrises to be published.

For the first time, 1,520 days into this project, I can now see two months side by side. February 2020 is now published!

It’s been a long process to finally get there, and there is so much further to go. I’ve learned in the last month that I can make better progress on getting photos published if I just sit down here and there and knock a couple photos out, rather than waiting to do it in batches of 12. While there are still twelve photos published here, the process to get there has changed.

Now that I can see two months side by side, I can really see just how much warmer February 2020 was compared to February 2019, a 6º warmer average felt like temperature, but also, a lot more color in 2020.

This drop has a few highlights, including Sunrise No. 404, a trip to Grand Marais, and a sunny morning in Kalamazoo. And my absolute favorite from this batch, February 7.

I’ve now published 57% of 2020 sunrises. That’s progress. A not entirely arbitrary score of this drop: 7.7/10
