There can be nothing more pleasing to the senses than the sunrise. Nature is at its best at this heavenly hour. The golden rays of the sun give a bright coloring to the clouds and meadows, mountains and valleys. It marks the journey of the sun in the sky. At first, there appears a small ball of light in the sky. It then goes on increasing in size and shine. The golden dies seems to be rising and rising. Birds sing to its shine. Men and women who go out for morning walk enjoy its reddening beauty. It is the time when the day casts away the cloak of night. The lovers of morning walk stop on their way to look at the sunrise. The first rays of the sun are cool and bracing to the eyes. At a hill station, the beauty of sunrise is beyond description. The hill-tops and the valley below seem to be bathed in yellow light. All of sudden, the golden ball shining in the sky grows big in size. Milk vendors and newspaper boys are heard calling their trade at every turn of the street. A little later, small boys and girls in shining uniforms are seen going to the school. As the sun gets higher in the sky, the day’s activity begins. Plants and trees feast on the rays of the sun. Late risers miss the beauty of sunrise. It is a rare joy to be awake at sunrise. A scene at sun-rise is really very delightful. The darkness of night begins to clear. The stars in the sky begin to grow dim. The eastern horizon of the earth glows with orange coloured light. The sun looks like a ring of fire. The birds wake up in their nests and begin to chirp. Some even set out to collect food for the day. The atmosphere is pollution free. The sky is smokeless since the factories have not yet started their day’s work. The farmers make for their fields. The early risers go out for their daily morning walk. The milk boys are seen going towards cities with their pails full of milk.
