A stunning photograph captures the sun rising precisely due east, perfectly aligned with the Western Canal in Tempe, Arizona, one day after the Spring Equinox in 2001. The image showcases the sun's fiery glow reflected in the calm waters of the canal, framed by silhouetted power lines. The photographer waited a day to capture this precise alignment, accounting for the sun's apparent southward arc due to Tempe's latitude and the obscuring mountain range. This image demonstrates a beautiful example of celestial mechanics and precise photographic timing.
