That's a stunning photograph - what a special moment. In the UK we have an
early morning tradition on 1st May - May Day. Morris Dancers all over the
country get up before dawn and dance somewhere special to greet the May Day
morning sun. Some years we haven't seen the sun at all, but every so
often, as this year, we are treated to a gentle spring sunrise. My photos
are only taken with my phone, but our morris side has other people's photos
of dancing at dawn on Alderley Edge at www.powderkegs.co.uk

Twice a year the rising sun aligns with the twin towers of Amman,
Jordan, some 70 km from where I live. A couple days ago I dragged
myself out of bed and managed to photograph them just before 6 a.m. I
tried this last August and it was okay, but this year was even better
because the sun lined up directly behind the buildings. Interesting
thing is that in the cropped photo you can see the cranes (the
buildings are still under construction). This year I was able to use a
DSLR camera (Canon Rebel XSi or 450D) and 250mm lens.

Here are the photos I took in August 2009, if you want to compare. I
didn't have a long enough lens for my DSLR, so I used a Canon
PowerShot S5 IS.
