And I'm wondering what kind of jobs people have that they can be at home taking photographs at sunrise or sunset in November. It's dark outside this office.

It's a job I trained for all my life.

It's called RETIREMENT!!!!

Nice! There must be hundreds of them down there....

I'd rather see some photos from the great state of Saskatchewan One of the tree maybe?

I am a professional budgie wrangler so my hours are fairly flexible. Having said that, sunrise here is 8.02am and sunset 5.49pm so personally I just grab my phone and take the photo, either on the way to or back from work. Not that tricky actually

There's only one tree in Saskatchewan?

That might explain a lot.

Approx 40% of Saskatchewan is covered by forest, I was a hundred miles or so into the provincial forest lands last Friday. It's about 5 hrs north of Regina.

When I first read that and decided to make a joke of it, it was because I thought it might have been a reference to a particularly famous tree, like a giant redwood or whatever it is with a car passing through it.

But now I'm feeling a tad foolish and wondering if it meant a photo of trees rather than a photo of the tree.

Thank you.
Wouldn't have been hard to up for these sunrise shots, they were taken at about 8:15am.

How about one just after sunset?

Unfortunately as I don't finish work this week until 4am most mornings (normally 3am) - and by the time I get to bed around an hour later, I'm away with the fairies until about 10-11am.

Of course, I forgot a lot of people do not work 9 to 5. Myself included before I retired.

My apologies.

No need for apologies!!

This is a photo of my furry friends.. the cat takes over the dog's chair every day, literally pushing her out - you can see from the photo that she is not a happy pup!

Apologies for the disgusting pillow and blanket - but they love them - normally the blanket covers the pillow too, but Abbey decided to rearrange it before the cat took over, lol.

They're both lovely. Nice that they get along. The stripey blanket actually makes the cats markings look even more interesting.
