Nobody besides a few die hard fishermen at most is up, pure bliss. Once I went on a lake before the sun rose for walleye, and it was very foggy. When the sun rose it broke the horizon and it turned the water and the fog the most brilliant orange ever, and in that fog it was like being in a dream from the most kino movie you can imagine. The water was glass calm and reflected everything so it felt like I was floating in a cloud of orange juice. It was by far one of the most tranquil 20 minutes of my life. This is the closest picture I found to it but it doesn't even come close.
