Looking for light in the pitch dark

Ugh, it's dark again as we are getting out on the water. This morning it was not so cold as it was dark. A low cloud cover and the only lights that where shining were those of San Quentin prison. So depressing. We rowed up and down the channel. I kept looking up in the sky for some light. The sunrise was not even visible today. Yuck.

I was thinking of this picture this morning that I took some years ago at the Bishop's ranch at O Dark Hundred. It was a real sunrise. What I was hoping for this morning. Sometimes you have to go and find what you're looking for, a substitute even, when you need the light.
