some explanatory notes on the sunrise

yeah the painting was indeed redder than when i saw it. and because i took the picture in yellow light it looks redder tan the painting. so that was cascade effect i guess. haha. the real situation was that, before the sunrise there was a snow storm going on outside the train. i was on the train from ann arbor to boston, in the middle of december. the temperature is so ridiculously low, well, to someone who's never experienced real winter like me. the train was running and it had a slit on the window beside me through which the damn wind can sneak in. i was travelling alone. and have been on bus-train itinerary to boston for 12 hours, not knowing that it was going to last another 20 hours before my feet step on solid land again. yeah. so it had been snowing all night and i was in a near conscious state. suddenly the train reached this place where it was clear and i saw the sun rising. it was the warmest feeling i've ever gotten. have you ever felt this shiver when you feel the sun after you have been cold for a long time? that was precisely what i felt. that was the first sunrise i'd ever seen that was actually glorious. but no. it was loneliness, not beauty that i saw in the warm color. and maybe that feeling persisted so much that i intensified it with colours. that's all for now.
