Have You Seen This? Sunrise in Salt Lake City

SALT LAKE CITY — Most people don't like having to wake up early for work, but you can't beat one positive thing: those beautiful sunrises. They just hit different compared to sunsets.

KSL meteorologist Matt Johnson shared footage of one particularly stunning sunrise on Instagram. The footage was captured as the sky turned from a hot pink color to a beautiful orange hanging over Salt Lake City on Tuesday morning.

"I only got the orange part, but WOW that was beautiful!" Johnson shared on his social media page.

Before daylight saving time, Johnson also caught video of another sunrise on Oct. 29. That sunrise was full of orange colors as well, but the clouds looked like they were painted along the sky with a paintbrush.

In both videos, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' Salt Lake City Temple could be seen aglow in the distance; lights along the ground were still lit up from a long night, and there was hardly any traffic seen as the city was still waking up.

With all the posts, it's promising to say viewers have more sunrise shoots to look forward to from Johnson.

I guess there are some perks to having to wake up early for work.
