We are going through Ecclesiastes in chapel each week at school. We recently learned that the phrase "to see the sun" is a Hebrew idiomatic expression meaning "to know God". The opposite expression is also frequently employed in Ecclesiastes: "under the sun" means to be without God. How much more meaning your verse has in this context!
Why do I blog? To intentionally be reminded of God's daily goodness, to preserve memories, to share with loved ones, to create something that lasts longer than a clean toilet.

Beautiful pictures! I LOVE THE SUN! :-)
Wow, cool pictures...do you know the person who took these?
Don't know him. I linked his name since it's hard to read on the photos.
