So there I was…at the private motorcycle/atv track east of Bismarck this morning, when this glorious sunrise took place. These late September mornings can be brisk, and I wouldn’t have them any other way.

One other characteristic of fall in North Dakota is the elevation of the sun above the horizon. As a motorcyclist, I’m all too aware of this; it makes us even harder for the people driving cages to see. This also makes for some unique sunrises and sunsets, such as this one.
