Saturday March 11th had a brief sunrise before the sun slid under the low hanging cloud cover.
The sunrise has quickly crept its location as the days get longer. Six weeks ago the sun appeared across the South Shore. Recently the morning glow has been coming across the Museum Campus and Soldier Field.
Between March 18th and 22nd the sun will rise across the Loop. This will be the week of Chicagohenge.
Do yourself a favor and always know where the sun is located throughout the year. Not just the day, the year.
I can look at a picture of the Board of Trade, the Sears Tower, the Hancock and Buckingham Fountain and know the time of the day and usually the time of the year.
Many of you live in beautiful places. Homes near oceans, mountains and forests. I live on a steel grid and the sun brings glory to our streetscape.
"Here comes the sun and I say, it’s alright."
