A sunrise in River Falls, Wis.

Location: the intersection of 910th St & 710th Ave.

I think I love twilight because it feels like a secret. Like I’m accessing part of the day we mostly let pass. 

Nature moves so gradually we don’t get to see it actually happen — like when flowers bloom or seasons change — so I love the moments just before the greens turn green, before the yellows wake up across the fields, and quite literally before the first roosters crow.

Anyways, I woke up at 4:58 and decided to go watch the sunrise.

I couldn’t find  a single blog post or yelp review of “best places to watch the sunrise” in River Falls.

So instead I found myself out on a time sensitive exploration, digital compass in hand, feeling a bit wild and reckless on a rustic road, wondering how I started east-ish and ended up west, chasing the sunrise.
