I watch sunrise. Moonlighting as Ambassador of the Upper Peninsula. Support the madness by following @upsupplyco, @plaidurday, and @freshcoastfilm.
It's been a morning, a Sunday Morning.
Bugsy Sailor has spent six years photographing daily sunrises over Michigan's Upper Peninsula, capturing its beauty and building an online following. cbsn.ws/4j0YmLj
Did you know the Flag of Michigan and coat-of-arms features a sunrise? "But, Bugsy, you’re biased. How do you know it’s not a sunset?" Because of the Coat-of-Arms and Flag Act 209 of 1911. “Charge, Azure, sun-rayed rising sinister proper…” Just sayin’


I'd like to outfit my car with PA speakers and drive around the neighborhoods 30 minutes before sunrise announcing that it's time to wake up.
Sunrise 2,391. It was a clumsy one. As it goes every now and again.

Sunrise 2,387. A little happy accident. First photo, July 14, 2025. Second photo, July 14, 2024. I didn't realize this until I got back home and looked at previous sunrises photos from this date. For what it's worth, these are taken at *Sunset* Point.

We’re looking for customers from all 50 states this summer! We’re further along than we expected, but it’s starting to get difficult. Here is what’s left: AR, DE, HI, ME, NH, NJ, ND, PA, RI, SD, VT, VA, and WV. Open 10-6, Monday thru Saturday, and 11-3 on Sunday.
Sunrise 2,378. Very impressed with my 15-year-old niece who didn’t hesitate to join me for sunrise and was even ready to head out before the 5:45 departure time. (Anyone who has joined knows I have strict guidelines of being ready on time)

Sunrises are wildly underrated compared to sunsets. You don’t hear much about them because most people never wake up early enough to see them. There’s a whole world on the other side of discipline. Most never get past the temporary discomfort to find it.
