The pre-dawn view from Sunrise Point on Mt. Nebo, Arkansas. February 27, 2014.
(Note: All pictures may be enlarged by clicking on them once or twice.)
This is my post for Skywatch Friday, a meme for sharing views of the sky from all over the world. To see more, or to join and share your own photos of the sky, click HERE.
When Betsy and I visit Mt. Nebo in Arkansas, we tend to get up a little earlier than usual so we can drive to Sunrise Point to watch the sun come up.
If the visibility is good, we can see much of the Arrkansas River valley below us before the sun makes its appearance.
The sun making its first appearance across the Arkansas River valley. February 27, 2014.
In late February we can catch our first glimpse of the sun just beyond the end of Petit Jean Mountain across the valley.
The day is off to a great start on Mt. Nebo, Arkansas. February 27, 2014.
It doesn’t take long before the sun is completely up filling the sky with light reflected in the waters of the river below us. It’s always a gorgeous sight, and gets our day off to a wonderful start.

Happy Birthday George! That trip to Arkansas does sound very interesting. I’m always amazed at all the waterfalls you two find.

Beautiful! I sure wish sunrises happened a little later in the day. Haha!
March 7, 2014 at 9:18 am |
I agree with Woody! I know I would love sunrises just as much as sunsets if they just occurred at a more convenient time. 🙂
Your photos of this Mt. Nebo sunrise are beautiful, of course.
Hope you have a very special birthday on Sunday and a great week of celebration.

Oh, that is so gorgeous!

Absolutely gorgeous photos! One thing I have been wanting to do for a very long time is to photograph the sunrise from Clingman’s Dome. Maybe, this spring we will have an opportunity to hike to the summit. I think the last time we did that, our son wasn’t a year old. He’ll be 20 this May. I say it’s time to do something about this. It’s nice to meet you on Skywatch Friday!
Morning sunrise in Knoxville, TN
It just dawn on me when else does the sunrise, but in the morning. Gee, I’m silly! lol

Happy birthday, George!!
We just don’t have view points like this in our parts of northern MN. I love living in the woods, but I often wish we could see the sunrises & sunsets better!!
Hope you had a wonderful birthday weekend, and wishing you a wonderful year ahead!

I am late to say: Happy Birthday George! It seems that I am two years younger than I am. My “great” day is in next May.
Your photos were fantastic. I loved especially the color contrasts blue and rose.
