Ah, but how can we be sure you aren't on the Illinois shore watching the sun rise?This is Lake Michigan, in the state of Michigan, circa 2014:
But, seriously, that's a beautiful photo. The first time I saw Lake Michigan it wasn't long after sunset, and there was an electrical storm over the lake. Wonderful!

I don't think he's still doing it, but several years ago one of my nephews was a "smoke jumper", i.e. one of those guys who would parachute into an active wilderness fire with the sole purpose of trying to put it out with a shovel. His father, my brother, died from a massive heart attack not long after he (nephew) was born, and not having brother/dad around seemed to put the idea in his/nephew head that he somehow needed to prove himself. Mind you, he wasn't reckless about it, but my brother was one of those "Always do the right thing, no matter what it takes" guys, and nephew wanted his dad to be proud of him.
