These 16 Beautiful Sunrises In Oregon Will Have You Setting Your Alarm

Some of us get caught up in the mind-spinning pace of our busy lives and don't slow down to appreciate the little things in life, like a gorgeous sunrise at the break of dawn. We thought we'd remind you of just how beautiful a good sunrise can be.

16) Cannon Beach

The subtle sunburst of the sun has a great effect on the water, doesn't it?

What's that poking out there in the background? Oh wait, that's Mount Hood.

8) Portland skyline

The calm before the city bustle.

7) The way the sun is glowing on the foreground here, we're not entirely sure if this is a snowy mountain top or a gentle sand dune.

Either way, Flickr user Ian Agrimis captured a magical shot.

6) Springfield

That rich mix of pink and purple is really captivating.

You can't experience Portland without encountering its many bridges. Here one, at the break of dawn.
